Hey, I'll play that game with you. Where did the need for growth come from? Without the efficient operation, the sizes of social groups will be limited by predation and the grazing capacity, or something like that. One bottle of Special Sauce, comin' up.
It looks like a classic chicken-egg problem. Some people's desire to lead exceeds that of others. That's how you recognise this whole conversation as the purest wibble. But, if you hold a degree in Political Science in your grubby little fists, you're an expert. There's the old bromide about fields of study with the word 'science' in their names. Library Science comes to mind. Domestic Science. Even Computer Science.
Well apparently a new paper out is saying our need to kill each other caused that want.
And didn't both the chicken and the egg evolve together over time?
