Which of these excerpts is one of the main arguments in Jack London's "The Human Drift"?
The history of civilization is a history of wandering, sword in hand, in search of food.
As soon as [man's] evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw.
And yet, despite this terrible roll of death, there are to-day alive on the planet a billion and three quarters of human beings.
And to this day, [man's] finest creative energy and technical skill are devoted to the same old task of making better and ever better killing weapons.
