There are things that I sometimes wonder about.
Like the way I've seen people fight for food.
I wonder why it is not a comfortable relaxing time around the table where everyone enjoys and shares and the communication is easy and afterward everyone relaxes and is satisfied.
I thought it might be because life was like this once.

The memory of hunger follows into adulthood. The requirements for satisfaction are different. Struggling to get what to eat and accomplishing it is a different sort of satisfaction. The following video is the same sort of fight but obviously nobody is actually starving. These grown men are well fed, well dressed. They are staying in a place that is well furnished but they play the same roles as the children in the other video. Even the commenters identify and "miss" this way of relating to others.

Without sounding too much like a colonialist, is it possible to consider this "fighting for food" behavior as the broken part of the brain or the psyche or even the DNA. Recent studies show how trauma effects the DNA. Is this broken? Is this tradition? Is this brokeness rolled into a tradition?
