   Consider to the Khoisan-speaking peoples of Southern Africa, whose ancestors likely were the first anatomically modern humans to enter the Kalahari Desert region 150,000 years ago.

   While interpersonal violence does occur among these communities, group violence is essentially unknown. That means these bands of foragers lived without war or conquest for more time than I can wrap my mind around.

   If Haudenosaunee expansionism can define tribal society and suggest a universal human violence, why cannot the total absence of war and conquest among the Khoisan define the human experience?
