Animalistic or Animistic?

This is the point I am trying to make. Do we have any evidence that supports our thought that we just raped and pillaged back then? While many human groups did migrate, many had to have been sedentary or else agriculture would never have evolved as a technique. And also, studies of recent hunter gatherer societies have shown a very low level of violence, backing up the theory that low violence was needed to not completely wipe each other out.

Even though there is a lack of evidence to support either side, I think the "rape and pillage" theory is complete bullshit.
