Humans like animals also primarily fight for territory, food and mates, but with a lot of additional layers of abstraction and rationalization and what not.
I know not with what weapons Chimp War III will be fought, but Chimp War IV will probably be fought with whatever worked in Chimp War III.
“There isn’t a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. It’s a very wuzzy line and it’s getting wuzzier all the time. We find animals doing things that we, in our own arrogance, used to think was ‘just human’.”— Jane Goodall
"Nobody wants to die for the juice" - Chimp soldier about the Fruit War
"War. War never changes." Didn't think I'd hear that from Anton; but now that I think about, it kinda makes sense.
One of the non-human conflicts I'm most curious about is the octopus war in Jervis Bay off the coast of Australia. Short-lived, solitary, intelligent animals grouping together to do battle.
Not sure how scientists can be so naive as to romanticize other animals while actually knowing we ‘are’ animals. Our emotions are the oldest part of us. It’s the sophistication of our communication that’s new. And communication can often help avoid war. So it should be no surprise other social animals will make war on each other when their ability to communicate with each other is so limited. We’re really not as warlike as the self-haters often portray us. If you consider how many humans are actually alive at any given point and how few are actively engaged in war, it’s a surprisingly small percentage of us, even earlier in history. We just make a big deal of it when we actually do go to war so it ‘seems’ more common to us than it really is. It’s a strange kind of mental masturbation, hating on your own species…
“Even before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practioner.”
Damn I feel bad for the chimp researchers. They watch the same animals for years assign them names. They believed for a while they triggered a chimp genocide, they had to feel a huge amount of guilt.
War between two kittens for a toy, this is a very beautiful type of war it's on 2:10
