How do you address the fact that certain cultures, due to geographic factors, developed in areas that gave them access to a wider array of food crops and domesticable animals than others, allowing them to accumulate greater surpluses and freeing up their populations to develop technology and engage in warfare? Not to mention develop immunity to diseases caught from their domesticated animals, which they then carried to other peoples with whom they came into contact.
And that a few of those cultures, again due to geographic factors, developed in areas whose terrain led to relatively small states at a certain balance point of contact, competition, and independence, to really drive development of technology and warmaking?
Or the fact that some cultures and individuals, for various reasons of fear, ignorance, or hatred, have biases that they're unwilling, and possibly unable, to surrender, though they might never act on them to harm another's person or property?
