Human's nature

Stanley Kubrick's space odyssey is about human evolution and the relationship of primates with the first types of technology. We observe that a team of primates discover a huge but harmless object. It seems so unusual and dangerous to them until one of the primates touches it and they all realize that is just a rock with a strange shape and color. It was admirable to me that the primates were touching this object like little kids, I believe they were trying to understand where and if it could be useful to their daily life.

The next scene is about a primate that finds a skeleton and after staring at the bones for a while he is grabbing one of the them and violently destroys the whole skeleton. In my opinion Stanley Kubrick is trying to show the human' s nature and violence is surely part of it . I don't agree with the representation and the picture of the violent primate breaking the bones but on the other hand I believe that is truthful and reveals the human' s instinct.
