In 2013, scientists discovered something unusual in the Spanish cave of Sima de Los Huesos, or pit of the bones.

Scientists found human remains situated in an unusual location. This location was at a depth of 43 feet or 13 meters. Thus, it was impossible to conclude that the cave housed some of the first humans in the past. In addition, no evidence suggested that the cave was a burial place.

The picture of what happened at the cave became clearer. This was simply the location of the first serial killer to inhabit the earth.

The Profile and Gruesome Action of the First Serial Killer

At the dawn of scientific research, there were two opposing points of view on the nature of man.

Thomas Hobbes suggested that the nature of Homo sapiens is extremely violent, and the entire evolutionary development of mankind is a war of all against all. But, Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed that human civilization was built on cooperation and the desire to be a full member of a social group.

The debate between these two sides exists to this day.
