    You take a very narrow view of history.

    If all that exists was the last hundred years thwn you may have a point.

    But you can’t just shrug aside the thousands of years before that.

      If all that exists was the last hundred years thwn you may have a point.

      Even prior to the last century, the overwhelming bulk of human suffering was inflicted by other humans. Slavery, most prominently.

      But you can’t just shrug aside the thousands of years before that.

      You can go back to The Taiping Rebellion, New World colonization, and the Inquisition to find plenty of fully human made disasters before the last century.
