Not so long go that it was assumed that the advent of farming and a settled lifestyle in prehistory brought with it peace, co-operation and an idyllic, Arcadian way of life. Only when copper, bronze and iron came along, new weaponry ruined that idyll and the attainment of power through violence released the darker side in us humans. However, studies in recent years and and a new paper tell a very different story. The farming life could actually be a pretty brutal one, it seems.
The Prehistory Guys investigate.
