    Naturally I would not swap my hard to get rug for your find anywhere twig.

    I do agree that there was cooperation; but it would have been spawned from the desire for more. If I was too big for you to kill, you would have recruited a helper to bash me at the same time.
    So pretty much what the common coon is like these days then? Except instead of rugs and sticks, it's big screen TVs and nice cars.

    Yes, somewhat, but it's not actually race related... most whiskey tango are exactly the same.

    Community would have been fueled by this, the desire not to be bashed to death in your sleep. But people still want/need things... thus hello Mr Commerce.
    And they also formed community's.

    Surely it's be better to have both you an I being warm and fed by dividing our labor and thus expending less energy. It's entirely up to you if you would prefer to be a solitary creature. I can see the benefit of the division of labor, but can't see the benefit in having more than I can eat and extra shelter that I can't carry, or expend too much energy carrying...

    Whilst I agree that that would be a reason for community, however I doubt that it was the primary reason for it. Dunno why value came into it. Some dickhead believing that their labor was worth more than someone else's probably.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Now I get bashed just by turning on the telly. Talk about a severe concussion, I'm still recovering
    4500 yrs ago we didnt have Jesus and Satan competing for souls.... villages where selling crap on every corner is the norm, out of control
    Then recently some intergalactic idiot sends in the 'angels' to try and calm things down.

    Achievement is not always success while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

    I suspect you couldn't control a piss-up in a brewery, and that's the nice version.

    Yeah, you're too sweet by far for being any good at making people angry.
