The issue is whether or not (non-human) nature
is violent.  I have in no way denied that there
are differences.  But murder, rape, infanticide,
even organized group violence are well-known 
among the primates.  Besides which, I asked you
*how* we are atypical ... do try to answer the
question.


Cordially,
