Is “enslavement” built into human evolutionary genetics?
Having so much exposure in the last few days to the condition of enslavement, our period of servitude where more than one of our Presidents found slavery abhorrent yet were unable to free their own enslaved people. But we are just babies on the timeline of human enslavement.
Slavery appears in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, pre-Columbian Americas, sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, the Arab world, essentially everywhere complex societies emerged.
Do we have a built-in dominance seeking behavior? Or is it simply pure economics? Financialization of human beings to garner wealth and status?
This behavior circles the globe. Why?
