Is the theory of human competition with each other just humans acting as animals?

Think about it!

For example wolves in a territory where there is not enough food for all wolves compete with and kill each other for the limited food. This results in half the wolf population dying and zero evolutionary progress. Same for other animal species (many of whom eat their own young, children, and babies to sustain themselves in their animal nature).

There is....no...morality, higher thought, high cognitive ability in this....animalistic...pitfall of competition.

The species in the end always... reduces itself...by killing it's own, in a endless pointless path of self annihilation, until the last strongest 'winners' themselves become extinct.

Only humans have the brain capacity, the morality, intelligence to realize....cooperation, working together, being a team...among humans insures

success for all of us, including the strongest/ richest. Opinions?

    You are right we do have reason ,unfortunately , some humans love power and power corrupts reason .There is also the problem of money which can enable things to be done or stop things being done so once again it serves power .Only good people will reverse this and make money and power serve the people .

    Humans ARE animals.

    And trying to separate our complex apepack rules from the other factors as to why we behave the way we behave, and substituting simplistic wolfpack stuff, does not work.

    Yes, we have lots in common with animals because we ARE animals.
