Humanity is more than it has become and the “Old Story” has not served us and our evolution.
How the concept of the human being and of “nature red in tooth and claw,” attributed to an oversimplified Darwin, has long demoralized us and retarded human progress. Even if “survival of the fittest” (meaning the most violent) were the driving force of evolution, it does not have to be ours. We are more than this Old Story would suggest.
