Competition between ourselves 人类内部的竞争;

person against person 人与人之间的竞争;

Community against community 群体与群体之间的竞争

In man's early days, competition with other creatures must

have been critical. But this phase of our development is now

finished. Indeed, we lack practice and experience nowadays in

dealing with primitive conditions. I am sure that, without modern weapons, I would make a very

poor show of disputing the ownership of a cave with a bear, and in this I do not think that I stand

alone. The last creature to compete with man was the mosquito. But even the mosquito has been

subdued by attention to drainage and by chemical sprays.

Competition between ourselves, person against person, community against community, still

persists, however; and it is as fierce as it ever was.
