    Humanity got in general less violent throughout human history because the violent people did stupid things and got themselves killed. That’s why there was less and less of them over time.

      This is ridiculously wrong.

      Most violence (and crime in general) between humans tends to happen due to harsh living conditions. If you’re struggling to make ends meet, you take what you can however you need if you’re desperate enough.

      As technology has improved (and more importantly, was obtainable by more people), living conditions have also improved. Hence why crime rates go down
