Why Do Humans Wage Wars Against Each Other?

Humans have been killing each other since the beginning of time. Isn’t that strange? Is there any other creature on this planet that destroys such a large percentage of its own kind? And not even to eat them… The reason for this is clear, simple, and it is this:

Humans have no natural enemies on this planet. There is nowhere else for their focus to go. If there were alien races to fight, we wouldn’t be killing each other. In fact, we would need more people. There would be a shortage. Huge armies would be necessary to attack Jupiter. Oh, the Chinese wouldn’t be enough, such a vast territory!

But why don’t we have natural enemies? Why are we the only creatures that don’t follow the rules of nature? Every other species is adapted to its environment and is happy in it, while the negative effect on nature from their existence is zero — perfectly round, like the balance in the account of this publishing site.

And humans? Where is our natural environment? Either it is too hot or too cold, we need clothes. I’m talking about the first humans too — even they were strange. Our skin is delicate, even that of cavemen was fragile compared to all others.

And if we evolved — well, in order to invent a tool, you first need to need it. A knife. Other animals don’t use knives. Why did cavemen decide they needed one? And we are supposed to be “smarter”? How can you evolve — meaning develop — and at the same time already be smart? If humans developed physically from ape-men, then the brain must have developed alongside the softening of our feet, which now can’t walk without shoes.

When will we expect dogs to be unable to walk barefoot? I already imagine a business: wholesale dog shoes — Air Max, platforms, high heels for the females so that the pinschers look taller.

I have another theory, briefly:

Humans do not fit the environment here. Put one in the forest, how long will he survive? 20–30 years max, and he will die from microbes. Those primitive people also lived around that long. Maybe that’s where the myth of the wise turtle came from — they outlived three generations of humans.

Babies — we all know nine months of pregnancy, and then at least five years until the child is more helpless than a three-month-old kitten.

Humans, even with modern so-called medicine, suffer from movement problems connected with walking: worn joints, backs, legs… which means Earth’s gravity may not be suitable for us.

Just imagine: if gravity were stronger, how would it affect you? If it were weaker, what would change? The oldest evidence of living humans is only several thousand years old. Compare that with the theory of evolution: from cells, to microbes, to multicellular life, to amphibians, to birds, to apes, to humans. That process would take billions of years. How can humans come from such a long line, and yet the oldest proof is only 10,000 years old?

Were humans extinct? And if they disappeared, how did we reappear so quickly? Were the traces simply erased? Since I’ve been human, all we do is dig and conquer, and the traces only increase. Did humans evolve from apes, then separate into different races, then all disappear except ten survivors, who over the last 3,000 years slowly developed again — and from there we have all the artifacts?

It is also interesting that in all this time, the evolutionary ability conveniently does not work where it should. I don’t feel used to Earth’s gravity. If for a million years humans have been jumping, running, evolving, why can’t we now jump five meters? Why can’t we see in the dark, when half the day is darkness?

The waters are murky. If we believe those who say we are not from here, or that someone came, examined the animals, and said: “These apes and those others, let’s make them smart, let them roam this planet.” Then maybe even the food we eat is not original. It creates problems — heavy on the stomach, diets, restrictions, this and that. Wait — humans have eaten meat since they were amphibians. What happened? Maybe ambrosia, the food of the gods, was the original. A liquid with all the necessary elements for the body. When you feel hunger or thirst, you drink ambrosia and you’re ready.

Instead of drinking a universal drink and resting in our natural environment, which makes us naturally happy — like water for fish or air for birds — we are forced to build houses, blocks, apartments. Even though other animals also build homes, ours seem like a distorted version of the original feeling of home. A stork builds a nest, but not a three-story house with a terrace and a pool. Not that it’s bad — but maybe it’s not of this planet.

So what would the original home planet of the humanoid be like? Constant temperature, 24 hours. Gravity maybe 75% of Earth’s, so that movement is effortless even in old age. If it’s lower throughout life, the body will not wear down as much. You eat ambrosia — a smooth, balanced diet. A flat, safe terrain, so you don’t poke your eye on a branch. Materials — maybe a gel that can be used for everything: conductive, insulating, soundproof. A window made of such gel. And telepathy, of course — a collective mind, no need for internet or phones.

And why wouldn’t these humanoids kill each other, since they too might have no natural enemies? What makes them collective, united in one goal — to explore the cosmos? Maybe. Why not? It holds so many beautiful and mysterious secrets. After all, the thirst for knowledge has always been part of us — or part of them, and we through them.

So, a common cause can focus our attention elsewhere. And the most useful common cause is the best option. But what has separated humans for so many years from this collective struggle, pushing us instead into war and battle among ourselves — the opposite of what is logical?

It is the energy that comes during battle. It is as ancient as animals themselves. For them, it is necessary — when they hunt, flee predators, or fight for territory. But humans know how to provoke it deliberately. Just as sex for animals happens only at certain times of the year, while for humans it is constant and elective — another thing we overindulge in.

Here is the result: Humans wage wars because they like it. And as long as there are those who love this feeling, there will always be at least one of them in a position to give the order:

“Attack!!!”

P.S. Still, if there are any aliens out there willing to fight, you’re welcome. Green blood is less annoying than red!
