I appreciate your very thorough and will cited response and I look forward to going through it in more detail in the next few days when I have the time to truly take it all in. My initial response is that there is still no archeological evidence of warfare or widespread interpersonal violence of any kind prior to 13,000 years ago, and most of it is from 8,000 years ago. There is also evidence that Paleolithic tribes exhanged members with their neighbors in order to maintain genetic diversity. It seems highly unlikely that they are then fighting with and killing kin-filled tribes in their vicinity rather than extending the cooperative dynamic used within the tribe as a survival mechanism to their kin. After all, it stands to reason that the same powerful reverse dominance hierarchy as you mentioned in your comments about Catalhoyuk would have been in play. And how could Catalhoyuk have ever come to be if the cultures around it, and that it sprang from were used to a lot of warring and interpersonal violence? It just doesn't add up.

None-the-less, I am more interested in potentially learning something than in being right, so as I said, I will look more deeply into what you have so kindly linked me and get back to you very soon.
