A hunter-gatherer community that lost four months’ worth of food would face a serious threat to its survival, and its retribution against the people who caused that hardship would be immediate and probably very violent.

“It’s revealing, then, to look at modern society through the prism of more than a million years of human cooperation and resource sharing.
