Does man do war like a tribe of chimps? Yeah. Do we murder and steal like animals? Yes.

But has a warring tribe of chimps ever sent aid to the widows and orphans of the other tribe? Can one ant colony ever overcome its own nature and help out another? Once two warring packs of dogs stop gnashing at eachother, dos the victor ever seak to help rebuild the losing pack? Can one any hive accept starving refugees from another?

I like to try and think of the ways man transcends our base nature, not how we still mirror it.
