By what are you basing this?[/quote]
I guess you also believe humans are good by nature and born as a good person? What utopia do you think we live in?
That is based on the evolutionary history of the human. A long time ago we were basically raping every female we could find, as morality developed (because of our intelligence) so did love. Meaning it is created by the brain, not the genes.[/quote] With evolution being you basis Woeler you must understand you contradict yourself. What you believe as intelligence that causes this may very well be evolution itself. Perhaps it is evolution that is bringing people to love one another rather than rape?
[quote="Regulus"][quote="Azdgari"]So is it true in everyone's experience that we hate all non-family members?[/quote]
Uhh... yes.
I've never opened up a history book and found any information on two groups of humans working together, unless there is a common interest.
What do we learn in history? That people loved to kill each other.[/quote] So you are saying that you absolutely hate everyone you have ever met other than your family? Friendship in that sense is non existent. Keep in mind Regulus that History books only covers governmental actions not necessarily the will of it's people.
