Sure, the genome is still evolving, but do we have any way of knowing for sure that said evolution isn't going to make us MORE brutal as a species?</p> <p><img src="/images/smilies/twisted.gif" title="Twisted Evil" alt="Twisted Evil" /> <img src="/images/smilies/wink.gif" title="Wink" alt="Wink" /></p> <p>Enjoy your meal!</p> <p>--<br /> Hello, My name is Linus Torvalds.
