p.e. "I cut off their hands, I burned them with fire, a pile of the living men and of heads over against the city gate I set up, men I impaled on stakes, the city I destroyed and devastated, I turned it into mounds and ruin heaps, the young men and the maidens in the fire I burned" [Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC), King of Assyria]
But is cruelty innate in human beings?
