| It is not a neutral position, IMO. The "nature red in tooth and claw" theme is endemic to the story. I did not really grasp that till the ascent of man part: but you will see that the whole tale is of men and weaponry: which fits the narrative of the whole piece. There is nothing essential to that: but it is still quite a mainstream story we are programmed to accept without question.
You could tell the story differently: a tale of cooperation and social development. The first artefact could be a pot not a spear (it is just as likely in reality). So there is a message about the nature of life and man in this video: it is not just an account
Does that make it any clearer?
