wrong. it's as old as civilization itself, yes. But humanity is not exactly the same as civilization
edit: so the numbers (of votes) say that I'm wrong, so humanity is the same as its civilization? wtf.
It’s pedantic, as others point out. But it’s a fun derailment, and I’ll argue yes.
Humanity is not the same as being biologically Homo sapiens. What it means to be humane is inextricably linked to the bonds of society. (And that’s before fun hypotheses like bicameral mentality [1]. Granted, in the same folder as the one-electron universe.)
More fundamentally, using force to get something you want is as old as carnivorism, older than humanity, civilisation and even mammals.
