Absurd. Argues that prehistoric human cannibalism is not evidence for group human violence. It might not be, but to automatically write it off? https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/humans-may-have-evolved-aggression-but-that-doesnt-mean-we-were-hard-wired-for-war/?fbclid=IwAR3IXXsB5Gx7LFp5aCjnJsN8orU6OfX4LWJeV2M_8OtzauD0pnMPAIyZA_o …

And since forager bands had no forts (checks notes...foragers dont stay in one place, duh) and since cannibalism doesn't count, there was no prehistoric warfare. That's just stupid. Also ignores the Lake Turkana site in Kenya (which ironically is linked as a related article)

There are some bad assumptions in this article too about the limits of archaeological evidence. There's no allowance for preservation differences (e.g. wooden fortifications are going to be very hard to identify in the per-historic arch. record, etc)

having excavated a wooden palisade, let's just say that that's complicated. And it's a nuance that Bellamy was not prepared to deal with here. But the other driving assumptions are just batty.

Yes. Didn't mean that as only example, just one that came to mind from Roman site reports. Also wonder if the prominence of cannibalism-associated finds is due to the high visibility of middening. Agree Bellamy's lvl of confidence/conclusions not warranted by the evidence.
