Evolve or Perish?
Although humans have become the most proficient species at fighting and fleeing, that is not what has been the main thrust of what has propelled us to dominate the landscape.

If we evaluate our reptilian predecessors who dominated our planet, we find that they were very good at the four Fs — fighting, fleeing, feeding and procreating, but had little ability to learn how to creatively and cooperatively relate to their world. Tyrannosaurus Rex — the creature at the top of the food chain — was the pinnacle of brutish reptilian power.
