Questions for future investigation

Here are some historical questions that interest me:

- Why were Mesoamerican civilizations so focused on violence and human sacrifice, compared to any other ancient civilization?

- Why was the Maya civilization mostly populated in city-states, while the Aztecs had an empire?

- Why was the Aztec civilization focused so much MORE on warfare and human sacrifice than their Mayan counterparts?

- What causes certain people to resort to excessive violence, above and beyond what's necessary for survival?
