[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think deep down we're pretty primal; we see someone who we assumes eats a lot as a threat--"they might take my food." [b]Or we see someone we perceive as heavy as literally a burden--if the pack had to move quickly, this one would slow us down.[/b] That's just pure speculation on my part, but I think when you boil it down to visceral reactions, there it is.[/quote] Your second point is actually fairly applicable even in life today, especially in cases like having to escape quickly from an aircraft in an emergency. One big person would literally block other people in. I suppose the same could be said of some disabled people, but in that case at least a strong person would have a chance to move and/or carry them.[/quote]
