How could someone do that? The question we all ask when we hear about a fellow human physically or sexually harming someone, especially when it happens to children.
The more enlightened will often then say, “well, they are just literally insane, a sane person couldn’t do that.”
But is insanity really what we think it is? Is it a chemical imbalance or a genetic defect or a birth defect? Or is it actually just normal animal behavior being expressed by a human?
For 2.5 million years human ancestors (Homo Habilis and Homo erectus) evolved into what is today known as humanity, and for 75% of the last 200 thousand years, fully human humans (homo Sapiens) roamed the grasslands of Africa. But prior to our 2.5 million year old homo ancestors, our even more distant lineage lived as land animals on the planet for 500 million years!
From this perspective our animal heritage is much more robust than our human nature.
To use a computer analogy, the human brain runs on an ancient animal operating system. This means that any behavior you see animals doing on the nature channel, humans have the programs that code for these primitive animal behaviors embedded underneath their human programming.
If the animal part of the human brain feels like the human programming isn’t coping well with the immediate circumstances, the appropriate animal back up programs get activated and take over.
This is what’s happening to a person whom we label insane. Their ancient animal survival programming has taken over and begun to, …well…, act like an animal.
The scary part is that the animal programming can hijack the human intellect for its own purposes when survival demands it. So not only can a human act like an animal, it can plan out really sick stuff. Though most of the time it’s just intermittent insanity with lots of rationalization in between bouts, for example a “ functional” alcoholic that holds down a steady job.
We became fully human at about 160k years ago with evidence of the first burial rituals implying that we had a spiritual sense leading to belief in an after life.
Why did the spiritual sense develop and how did it help us to survive when all the other homo groups without this spiritual sense died out (habilus, erectus, Neanderthal, and so on)?
The spiritual sense has several benefits to survival. Mixed with our mammal ability to bond with each other, it creates a super bonding endorphin rush between clan mates, promoting cooperation, self sacrifice for the greater good of the clan, and anti-violence inoculation between fellow humans. It helps with discovering non obvious solutions to problems. Spiritual sense is a sense of something not there. Likewise, a non-obvious solution can’t be solved by reason alone. The spiritual sense instills a belief that hidden truths are to be found if you look hard enough. This creates a fun out of the otherwise boring “trial and error” method of discovery. And thirdly, it allows for the attenuation of grief when strongly bonded clan mates die because it gives the feeling that the dead are still with us or watching over us from the spiritual realm. Without this third effect, the super bonding that humans enjoyed and benefited from would have caused the end of the species due to crippling emotional pain each time someone died.
The fossil record shows no human on human violence prior to farming, which began 15-50 thousand yrs ago. So for at least 100k years we lived in constant human peace devoid of war, a kind of metaphorical Eden.
But then human on human violence began. How could someone do that? They must be insane. Or their animal brains took over.
What would have caused humans to have been overtaken en masse by their underlying ancient animal brains? The usual suspects: starvation mixed with cold winters. Once we migrated north, out of the tropics, we experienced cold for the first time as humans. We also experienced prolonged periods without food for the first time as humans after we left the tropics of Africa. But yes, our ancient animal ancestors’ DNA we carried knew how to survive the cold and without food: aggression and violence.
Even when the most enlightened human gets hungry and cold enough, his underlying animal brain will take control in order to survive. What do animals do when they are starving? They kill anything and anyone in order to eat.
Of course once food is found and starvation avoided, the animal brain in us goes back into its dormant state. But what if one of your clan mates, whom you are super bonded to, kills another of your clan mates whom you were also super bonded to? Your brain can handle the death of clanmate B because of the spiritual sense that he is still spiritually with you or looking down on you from the spirit world. But it has no ability to cope with the fact that clanmate A murdered clanmate B or that clanmate A is still alive and could do it again! A loved one killing another loved one is so incomprehensible because it never happened for at least 100,000 years and possibly not for 2.5 million years of human and pre-human ancestry. This long murder-free time frame coincided with the development of the spiritual sense and super bonding that humans are capable of. Because people died regularly, the specific spiritual sense that loved ones live on after death developed to prevent extreme grief. But no functional equivalent developed for coping with murder. And I would contend that no mechanism developed for coping with any human on human aggression including physical, sexual, or verbal assault, since these are nothing but the seeds of murder.
So, when human on human aggression, the extreme being murder, happens to us or we watch it happen to others, our human brain short circuits, leaving the dormant animal brain no choice but to take charge, and likely in a lasting way.
Once we migrated north and began to farm food in the summer and store it in the winter, shit was bound to happen: unexpected drought, early winter, plagues of insects, floods, and so on, any of which would result in starvation, animal instincts, and violence.
Once the first child witnessed his father killing his mother for food, or killing his neighbor to take his winter stores, or vice versa, the animal brain gets called into service and the first person grows up knowing only what it’s like to develop under the terrorizing rule of a human brain enslaved by the animal brain. And oh the atrocities this new breed of human commits.
Let’s just go ahead and call him Adam, not the biblical Adam, but the metaphorical first-post-violence human. Adam was the first child to witness humans killing humans. Adam only knows the human enslaved by animal reality. He has markedly less ability to bond with others, he easily and purposely hurts others, he’s endlessly unhappy and fearful. He commits aggressive acts left and right, and those who have never starved or seen human on human aggression watch him in disbelief. They try to bond with him but he only lashes out. In the end, he infects them with a mild version of his disease. His children grow up with enslaved brains because he abused them.
Adam sees others around him having deep loving bonds with each other, he sees their happiness, and it makes him angry that his heart is so empty because no one is able to bond with him. He becomes power hungry. If others won’t love him, he will control them through his unique ability: physical violence.
He literally enslaved his tribe, calling himself chief. He wants more power so he compels his subjects to capture, kill, or coerce other tribes into being his subjects as well. The first wars are thus invented: Large scale infection of human brain enslavement by the animal brain.
Like a virus it spreads to 99% of the populace. No vaccine to date has worked to cure this disease.
It’s only been 20-50k years, not enough time for the brain to develop a natural coping mechanism for human on human violence to prevent the animal backup system from enslaving us.
Or maybe this violent behavior virus is a survival advantage and is who we are developing into permanently?
Not likely, only because intelligence is by far the best survival trait and the most intelligent know that cooperation is the most effective way to survive, and violence and war is one of the least effective ways to survive in the long run.
