Psychopaths exist across cultures and ethnic groups and at an estimated frequency of about 1 percent of the population for males and 0.3–0.7 percent for females. Some researchers challenge these numbers, citing bias toward male manifestations in diagnostic instruments and methods.
And with psychiatry it’s really easy to dismiss mental illness as moral or character failings. I always thought I was a lazy piece of shit but I learned I have clinical depression and ADD.
I was using the greater definition of humans, which includes our ancestors species. They were still human beings, but not homo sapiens.
"Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. "
That sounds like a good idea until you remember that women are just as capable as men of being lying psychopaths.
You’re right, it’s a partial solution at best.
That now makes me wonder what the distribution of psychopathy is over sex.
I assume they’re independent and we’d have a “50:50” distribution.
Not interested enough to actually go and find out though.

TYVM!
Figures.
From what I read psychopaths may manifest differently in women so a lot of them may go undiagnosed
We’ve had a long history of just dismissing problems women suffer.

Hey! One can have clinic depression and ADHD and also be a lazy piece of shit. Don’t tell me what I can’t be!
So we will only allow half the females to kill rapists? Is that how statistics works?
Just give them guns. I mean, guns are primitive by today’s measure to manufacture. A sufficient in scale production would make them cheap.
Though arming everybody in India would mean at least one gun for every teen and adult in 1.4bln population, and also ammo.
I’ll allow it. After 900,000 years of being raped the males really do have it coming.
Homo sapiens have only existed as a species for about 300k years, and that’s probably the least of several things wrong with your statement.

Per the Smithsonian https://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution#:~:text=Humans first evolved in Africa,ago come entirely from Africa.
Hominids but not humans. Not the same species. Might as well be talking about chimpanzees.
