Before the Dawn
Murder by humans and chimpanzees may simply be a function of intelligence. All other animals may not understand that simply injuring an opponent means he can come back another day.
Dogs -- Dogs acting as night sentinels probably tipped the scale in getting humans to become sedentary.
Language -- Dialects were used to tell if someone was a friend or foe, as well as contributing to group solidarity.
Race -- The Comoto tribe is about 2% of Kenya's population but is half its (and the world's) champions in intermediate running. West Africans dominate sprints.
According to DNA analysis, African Americans are, on average, 17 percent Caucasian
.05% of all the men in the world carry the Y chromosome of Ganges Khan.
