It is our heritage. It should not be overlooked. But ultimately weapons are about man, not animals. Though they may not be alien to the world of nature, they are primarily our own creation and our own dilemma. We must look to ourselves for answers. To do this, however, requires that we go to the source of the problem, that we approach as nearly as possible the point at which man first picked up a rock or stick with malicious intent. It is here, if anywhere, that the basic proposition should be most clearly outlined.
3 Women and revenge, the traditional motivators, presumably still played a role in these depredations, but it was this new factor, property, which provided the impetus that had been missing previously. Although this dynamic—the nomadic outlander periodically sweeping down upon the sedentary agrarian—would remain a major theme in the history of aggression until at least the time of Genghis Khan, it was the agriculturalist response that would provide the major substance for our warlike past. 4 Having suffered at the hands of the interloper, agrarian communities gradually learned to defend themselves.
In both cases the greatest rewards and dangers were to be found at close range, where the virtues of courage and cooperation were most severely tested. It was natural, therefore, that the weapons appropriate for fighting at such distances—the spear, the sword, the ax, and the dagger—tended to take on the prestige associated with physical bravery. But it was more than just a matter of status and weapons. The manifest lethality of the Sumerian phalanx and its successors indicated that the outlook of the hunt, with its casual ruthlessness and willingness to kill without mercy, had now become imprinted on warfare, allowing men to commit acts of mass violence unprecedented except in the broken bodies of a herd of mastodons run off a cliff.
