One thing that always striked me was the mad willingness of soldiers in WWI to jump over the parapet and plunge into the hail of enemy bullets. Where does such suicidal bravery come from?

But this article made me realize that it might be just preprogrammed in some of us, a legacy of the long forgotten ages when our forefathers regularly faced a ton of galloping angry beef with just spears. Possibly the tribes that would not even try died out from lack of food.
