In contrast to the myths of "harmony and civilization" that prevailed , human predecessors were aggressive , according to Lawrence Kelly , a professor of archaeology at the University of LLinois , who studied the level of violence among modern tribes . 20 to 50% of male skeletons , found in ancient tombs , reflect the effects of injuries caused by weapons .

"The level of violence in prehistoric times was much higher than it is now , and tribal clashes were 20 times more bloody than the wars of the 20th century , "Kelly said.

"All of these sports figures give people a chance to look to the future with optimism ," he said at the end of the study " Despite all the difficulties, humanity is moving in the right direction.
