Reply to comment by Dark_solder18 in Humans are one of the few species that sees the raising of our arms as a sign of peace rather than aggression. by crookshanks_cat
true, but we can still use our fists as weapons and we still raise our hands to show we won’t use them. other animals don’t really seem to do this when they too have fists or something to use. 🤷🏻♂️

fists are really crap weapons. hands break easily.
we've been successful due to tools so a display of "i do not have a dangerous tool" is an obvious evolution to indicate "I am no threat" to another human
