War among the savages

Anthropologists adept at ambush, throat cutting.

“In the introduction to 1997’s War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage, University of Illinois Professor Lawrence H. Keeley discusses how anthropologists have 'artificially pacified the past.' He explains how easy it is to get grants when your hypothesis involves Rousseau’s 'noble savage,' but when you tread near the Hobbesian idea of an innately savage savage, the doors slam shut. One of Chagnon’s most basic observations was that violent tribesmen tended to have more offspring. Women are attracted to tough guys in the safest of environments. This is the jungle. Of course violence pays off. This notion is considered taboo because apparently there’s a risk we won’t want to preserve a tribe if it’s known as violent.”

(O, long have I argued against the “noble savage” promulgated by white, educated Victorian middle-class meddlers and picked up by 20th and 21st century “We’re all equal, all ideas are equal” socialpersons. All the folderol of Indian/Native American oneness with the land is simply part of the noble savage Mary Shelly Frankenstein type.)

(Just to show you can enjoy Wagner’s music but disagree with his racial ideas, maybe Taki knows more than I do, but I question the assertion that Marxist Jews controlled anthropology.)
