Thread: enemy

for a long time in the existance of mankind humans dont have a real enemy. Instead we fight wars andslaughter eachother burn witches make horror films and make up storys of higher beeings that are able to exinguish humans.

I expect this to be somehow todo with evolving but i want to hear other theorys and ideas.

why do we make(up) enemys

'enemy' do you mean predator, which might be more appropriate if you are talking about the natural world. Humans can be the prey of many other species, polar bears, crocodiles, wolves, sharks etc.

In the animal kingdom there are many disputes between rivals for food, mates and territory.

So you need to define 'enemy' for the conxtext you wish to discuss.

enemy: other species that is a threat for human kind.

Animals have allot of enemys and can be eaten. I want to know why we are always on the hunt for enemys that might harm us/humanety. Is this instictive, genetic or somthing else?

What sort of a threat?

that we might be eaten? driven off our land? killed fo amusement? used as fishing bait?

i dont think i make up enemies... i know crocodile or shark will eat me, i know Dracula looks a little creepy, but i dont know about making enemy. i mean i certainly dont need enemies.
