We don't actually know that. Homo Sapiens is on the whole a peaceful species, but we have a few assholes that like to kill and subjugate.
Just because our assholes outlived their assholes, doesn't mean that they were any less assholes on average than we are/were
hunter gatherers vs agriculturers say otherways. Mass of graves and the murdering entire family lines and clans and villages go back as far as humankind goes back. Homo sapiens are no different than any other animal—opportunistic killers like cows and horses are.
Yep, the relative lack of heterogeneity in the Y-chromosome compared to mtDNA is somewhat testament to that too, but those mass grave sites are late stone age. Neanderthals predate those sites by a large margin, so it'd be hard to say that they didn't necessarily follow the same brutal history against their own kin
If anything, our assholes outlivng theirs show we are more peqceful, because maybe they also had a type of asshole who got off on hilling assholes for the good of the peaceful group.
how do you mean?
I am.saying they maybe didn't tolorate their assholes living so long and killed them before they became President of the US etc.
Meanwhile, our collective pascifist asses let our assholes roam free and even went back to beg for more after a few years.
Ah! Yeah good point. We are way to pacified on the whole, and it seems like it literally just does take one asshole to push us around
Seems to be most Homo Sapiens. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/meat-consumption-by-country
