The problem with Humanity is that we are in denial of our basic animal nature. Is Evolution mankind's salvatio

Question

n? Why do we get mad when someone cut us off in traffick even when there is no danger? Why do we fight over a place at the table or a favorite chair? Why do wars start over a futbol game? (this actually happened in Central America). We are just territorial primates. Glorified apes that resent our lowly basic nature and aspire to create rituals and narratives to attempt our self glorification. Why did the Trojan war started over a female? (not unlike chimp behaviour raiding other tribes to steal females)
Could present Islamic terrorism deep roots be their male "protective" (oppressive) reaction to Western feminism?

Answer 1

There is something in this, but one may hope that the use of reason will eventually triumph and that humankind will deal with issues on a rational basis instead of trying to apply a bunch of superstitious nonsense.

Answer 2

I can agree with you on many levels that Evolution may be mankind's salvation and basic nature.
But I have to say that you shouldn't compare the human race to apes. Primates are a completely different species than humans. If you know the theory of evolution, you would know that once in our history there was an animal who was neither ape nor human. Over time, it broke off into two different species, so apes are only related to humans through a common ancestor, they aren't the ancestor themselves. Reffering to humans as "glorified primates" is uncorrect on many levels. I digress, most people are in denial about our basic nature. Yes-we do share those traits because are humans related to primates, but no-we are much different from any ape, we have evolved enough to be able to ask questions like these.
I do not believe that feminism in the west is the cause for present Islamic terrorism. I'm not a feminist, I think that men and women are essentially equal, in relation to a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors," where women's weakness are 'beat' by men and vise versa.
I do believe the cause can be related to our "deep roots" of instinctual 'animal' behavior of domination. People want power, they want to be recognized and in control-now days, terrorism is a main way to capture the attention and power that is desirable. But the thing that sets apart is our ability to reason, and come to correct moral judgments-where finally our intellect overrides our natural animal instincts.
