Thread Name: BS: The Roots of Violence in Humans
Subject: RE: BS: The Roots of Violence in Humans
"...excluding war." That is quite an exclusion. Though I'm in agreement that much of the killing in war probably hasn't got that much to do with other types of violence.

Work related accidents - I'm guessing, but my guess is that the number here would have risen dramatically for a few generations following the Industrial Revolution from a relatively low figure.
