I'm not talking about human evolution, per se. Perhaps the problem is that I have been unable to get a definition from you as to what you think IS human nature? Is it benevolence? Is it wickedness? Is it relationships to social power? Is it existential in nature? Is it deterministic? Is it created by some "God"? Its complex. It can't be boiled down to "benevolent" or "wicked". It might be created by God or it might not be. My observations about it don't rely on any theological ideas. If I tried to describe human nature it would be a book not a post and it still wouldn't do justice to the idea. My point was only that I don't think it has changed a lot throughout recorded history.
