re: #111 Justanotherhuman

But we don’t know those percentages, do we? We can’t deal in confirmation bias while ignoring scientific proof. And there appears to be no scientific proof, but mere speculation.

I honestly don’t know how solid the evidence is-anthropologists have been fooled before, but there are certainly records of pre-industrial and tribal societies in the last couple hundred years that appear to support this thesis and anthropologists can establish cause of death in many cases from skeletal remains. You might say that modern gangs are an extension of tribal society and heaven knows they have pretty high death rates.
