There's a new book out contending that predation played a much larger role in human evolution than has been acknowledged--that many of our distinctly human characteristics evolved first to deal with predators and then were used for other purposes. The book argues that schalrs have neglected these effects because we don't have any consistent predators any more.
Tigers are part of the argument. It seems that the British kept careful records of tiger attacks in India and during the 19th century and average of eight people a day were killed by tigers there. Our place at the top of the food chain is recent.

So if I divide one number into the other, I get .7
Now, if I multiply .7 by 5, I get 3.5
Is that the number of hours that I should sit on my ass and do nothing until they catch up to what I should be making, or the number of days I should sit on my ass and do nothing until they catch up to what I should be making.
I vote it's the amount of raise you should get wrangling those scientists. I only have to wrangle sales people, scientists are a whole 'nuther catagory of admin work.
No. Your hate killed the thread.
Is this why I don't have nice things?
