    Evolution has given us dopamine receptors that reward hunting. It’s not as necessary in modern society, but nevertheless, our ancestors needed it.

    For the record, I don’t hunt. I was forced to as a kid, but I’m disabled and I couldn’t really do it. It was a horrible experience and I don’t want to hurt anything.

    That doesn’t mean I don’t understand that others are different. I accept them.

      People aren’t hunters by nature, we can’t hunt or kill anything without tools, and we had tools for less time than we have dopamine receptors, by a cosmic margin.
