<But it's not all about eat or be eaten , or is it ? >

I guess that depends where one lives and under what circumstances. A bunch of investment bankers from NYC most likely revert to canabalism in a boat at sea?? Why we expect folks from entirely different circumstances than our own to behave like us is really interesting.

<Safety in numbers , safety in linked beliefs>

Packs of wolves?

<Thru religion those "safety boundries " were extended>

Actually in the early days it seemed 'stupid' from an animalistic point of view what many 'spiritual' people did. They got abused badly. As far as "extended", it's unclear that there is 'cause and effect' there... the Roman empire was huge by the standards of the day, and the safety there was just going along with the crowd... just like religions in some places.

I find it interesting that from a DNA viewpoint it's unclear that our society should be structured the way it is... I think religion casts a net much wider than most suppose.
