ok, but wasnt it human beings that were the predator more so then them being the prey? they'd work in groups to catch their prey thus pursue their desire. I do support hobbes theory of the natural human state, but i dont believe in his solution.

It looks like there's something major missing between the two lines below: 1. Men are competitive, all have desires and fear death 2. Therefore, our natural state is one of war and conflict This looks like it has been dodgily paraphased, because point 1 doesn't automatically lead to point 2 and yet there is a 'therefore' lurking around. |

That's exactly what I meant. As in, conflict between humans probably wasn't as common before but now that the natural enemies have been stamped out our natural response is to find another enemy and with no other target we make other people the enemy (plus technological and medicinal development could be viewed as a similar response against the 'enemies' disease, discomfort, strenuous work etc.).
