Inherent violence of modern humans

<p>During the <a class="wikilink" href="/pleistocene_extinctions/">Pleistocene extinctions</a>, not only animals disappeared, but also other hominin groups. Following the <a class="wikilink" href="/overkill_hypothesis/">overkill hypothesis</a>, it could be extrapolated to thinking that humans drove other hominin groups to extinction by selectively killing them. This is the specific view of Harari[<a class="litnote tooltip" href="/literature/@harari2015">@harari2015<span class="tooltiptext">Sapiens: a brief history of humankind</span></a>] which claims that H. Sapiens drove a genocide on other hominins. </p> <p>However, this self-fulfilling profecy may not be completely accurate. First, <a class="wikilink" href="/not_all_hominins_drove_extinctions_in_islands/">not all hominins drove extinctions in islands</a>, which points to some deficiencies on the <a class="wikilink" href="/overkill_hypothesis/">overkill hypothesis</a> (although this is so easy to understand and justify that compelling counter-arguments are normally more involved). Moreover, the <a class="wikilink" href="/mixing_between_modern_humans_and_neanderthals/">mixing between modern humans and Neanderthals</a> shows that cohabitation rather than extermination drove the evolutionary forces of human development.</p>
