In the absence of hunting our own food, killing buffalo with a rock or warring with another local tribe, we're going crazy. It's part of the reason why psychological disorders are so common in the West, when Kenyan tribesmen are doing just fine.
In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.

And who's got the right to say that the Kenyans don't get upset when someone is killed, or when they kill?They're not exactly fine if they're killing one another....

I imagine that most of them have compunctions about killing people and would rather not, but the simple fact is that they're just not suffering the sort of psychological pressures that life presents without a decent outlet.As for people that go psycho because of violence, again, some people do, that's not really an issue. Not everyone is well balanced, or a perfect example. The 1st world/3rd world psychological affliction divide is clearly documented.
