The Real Time Traveller!
Read Time: 2-mins
In 1950, a man popped up in Times Square, NYC. Witnesses said he looked startled, and then a minute later, he was hit by a car and killed.
The officials at the morgue searched his body and found a letter sent to this address, in June 1876 from Philadelphia.

Evolutionary History of Human Violence Humans have been extremely violent creatures for the better part of their 2,00,000 years of evolutionary history. We butchered our way to survival. When we study our fossils, we find that the biggest reason behind our ancestor’s death was murder — there was no concept of a terminal illness. However, later in the evolutionary spectrum, we realized the importance of collaboration. The change occurred when we transitioned From Nomadic Bands to Large...
