All cultures accept murder. The ones that didn't were killed by the ones that did.

"It takes a village." Extended family care and smaller tight-nit communities were more common than they are now. If you're talking about extra-pair paternity, it's estimated to be only 2% in humans.

What's this emphasis on biological? Are adoptive fathers sub-standard?
Consider that the limited resource may be mental, not temporal. We don't expect everyone to be able to run a 10-minute mile, even though most people can. Likewise we shouldn't expect everyone to be able to hold down a…
That usage of "lived" is a romanticization. It's the grandparent telling the starry-eyed children about the good old times, glossing over the decades of toil and hardship. Many video games similarly skip time to focus…
