One study has found that today's human being is as violent as its ancestor. According to this study, modern civilization has not been able to reduce human blood pressure. However it has also been said that a large and organized society reduces the possibility of war.
Researchers say that large and modern societies may have a large number of soldiers or fighters, but it is a small part of the total population. People living in modern-day countries are not less violent than their ancestors. Dean Falk from the Washington University Medical School said, "People living in small-scale societies face the danger of being killed rather than being more violent than those who live in the form of nations, because the old saying is that security in numbers is.'
Fak said, 'We believe that people living in all kinds of societies have the ability to not only violence but also to peace.' The results of the study have been published in 'Current Anthropology' magazine. It found that the number of combat deaths increases with the increase in the size of the population in those who live in small-scale societies and in more modern societies. This is due to new changes in weapons and military strategies with modern life.
There are fighter aircraft and state-of-the-art weapon systems in place of stone fangs. Falk said that the study conclusion challenges the idea that due to the development of nations and modern societies, violence and warlike deaths have come down.
People more violent than chimpanzee
The researchers analyzed the figures of deaths in the size and intergovernmental conflicts of population in 22 chimpagaini communities, 24 small communities of small scale, 19 countries fighting in World War I and 22 countries fighting in World War II.
Fak said chimpanzees were included because they attack themselves and attack other groups and kill them. Studies have found that overall chimpanzee is less violent than humans. Researchers say that mankind has developed more serious ways of war than chimpanzees. As the human population increased in population as well as chimpanzees, the number of deaths decreased annually.
