N2  - Questions about the origins and motivations of warfare have long engaged scholars as they speculate on the nature of human existence. Otterbein draws on primate behavior research, archaeological research, and data gathered from the Human Relations Area Files to argue for two separate origins. He identifies two types of military organization: one that developed two million years ago at the dawn of humankind, and a second that developed five thousand years ago when the first states proceeded to embark upon military conquests. In careful detail, Otterbein marshals evidence for his case that warfare was possible and likely among early Homo sapiens
