Now, imagine the violence early human bought upon early chimps to become the dominant species but also make them shy away from us.

There's a difference between a few humans throwing some rocks at something's head and poking it with a sharp stick and what chimps do.

I think you missed the proverbial point. We likely slaughtered the chimps and put their heads on pikes. Chimps have nothing on the violence humans are capable of inflicting.

In scale? Yes. In brutality? Go look up chimp attacks.

Yeah the context is that many indigenous people depended on the buffalo for food.

It was basically the same as when Israel pours concrete down wells and burns olive groves that took centuries to get that productive. They knew for every buffalo they killed, an indian would starve.

That image is similar to the rooms full of luggage in Auschwitz in what it represents.

Chimps kicked our weak asses off the trees. They should regret how that turned out for them.
