Some of the things we find odd about animals we actually used to do ourselves. For example, did you know that it was common place for humans to kill the offspring of conquered people’s, just like lions do. The Mongols and Romana often did this. Consequently, a lioness sometimes sleep with as many males as possible to try and fool them all into thinking the cubs are theirs. This ingenuity was no doubt learnt and passed on from generations. This caused me to wonder if like us, animals undergo major shifts in their culture and behaviour just like we do. This would mean they too have civilisations. The potential of this for a history nerd like myself was very exciting, so I talk a bit about it here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blackpolitik/message
