anthropomorphism
noun
the representation of objects (especially a god) as having human form or traits
I really like the way he describes why it is that humans fight for territory the way they do. He says that in a way, people believe that that's the way it's supposed to be. Even animals seem to do that by how they get their territory with scent and things like that, when animals don't care for territory.
For them, it's like an agreement of peace, or like a peace treaty. It was a system that in a way brought justice to the people. It was a peace treaty method because it created organization within the community which brought peace withing the people. They didn't finish each other off because they wouldn't be able to continue their species that way.
