> So a great story but I don't know how much can be extrapolated from it about human behaviour in general.
Given that this really happened, a lot.
Lord of the Flies came out of the fantasy of an English superintendent. Yet, it has permeated our culture as a cautionary tale about human behavior. It is 100% fiction.
I’d like to recommend Humankind by Rutger Bregman - a wonderful book dismantling the toxic narratives we have about ourselves.
