You have no idea how many people I bored and/or disturbed at a church function yesterday by drawing them into a discussion about this article.

Hey, weiss! Yeah, I wish I had Mennonites around to discuss this one - I think the evolutionary (anthropological, if you prefer) perspective has important implications for pacifism. For one thing, it calls into question the common conflation of human prehistory and "before the fall" - in some respects, we were a good deal nastier back then.
