What if it wasn’t the most refined civilizations that left their mark on human history, but the most ruthless?
After all, if you look closely, the vanished cultures weren’t necessarily the most undeveloped. Sometimes, to make the fate of an entire people sway, all it takes is a naïve leader whom enemies trick with promises of peace—or unforeseen weather conditions that change the course of battle. Then historians of the victors rewrite the past of the defeated as they see fit, justifying their destruction. And to remove any doubt for the next generation, debates are shut with the formula: “Woe to the defeated.” Darwin even found a scientific justification for these killings—“natural selection” and the theory of “survival of the fittest.”
That’s how human history on Earth was made—on piles of corpses and through forgotten betrayals.
