Less Survival of the Fittest Than Survival of the Nastiest

When one considers the manifold depredations
Of our Cro-Magnon species: the slaughter,
The ruin, the endless extinctions, one wonders
If we have ascended, as we like to tell ourselves,
Through superior genes, or if, instead, we
Dispatched other humans, Neanderthals
And Denisovans, simply because we're assholes,
And we kill everything we see.
