Document Summary
Animal in the same species usually do not kill each other. Human is a unique species that they kill each other. Animals that are naturally equipped with method of quick killing in another member of species do not kill members of the same species. Evolution is adaptive and inhibits killing of members in the species. Possible reason is to maintain the survival rate in the species. Animals, like wolf and lion appear to be engaged in furious fight, but they do not actually kill each other: virtualization of aggression. Animals seem aggressive, but maintain in control: pleasant gesture. Wolf exposes vulnerable body spot in a fight to show sign of giving up. Winning wolf will stop aggression and leave the wolf alone. Peck each other, no inhibition of aggression because their aggressive behaviour cannot kill each other, like the ones in wolf. Technology came to us faster than the point evolution can take place.
