You haven't played, have you?

You have?

Let me play back to you what I think I'm hearing and with a little bit of- I'm in trouble.

With just a little bit of inference looped into it.

What I think you're saying is, look, for most of 250,000 years, male aggression was absolutely essential for males to reproduce and find and forage for food and protect.
