Also, like 50% of deaths in tribal society were from violence. Believe me, your current life is better.

I can't give a source but a figure I heard was 30% to 90% of males died prematurely in preindustrial[1] cultures due to violence.

Can't remember the source, sorry.

[1] My word, afraid I can't recall the right/more precise one.

Does Google have anyone tasked with investigating and resolving such mysteries?
