Frisbee Jr. Warfare started with fists, sticks and stones, yelling distance. People usually knew their enemy, not always by name but they could see the fear in his as he bled to death at their feet. Combat was more personal and direct. As weapons evolved so did the method of using them. The Huns for instance would fire arrows at the enemy and ride away when the enemy came after them. Until the nineteen hundreds, soldiers fought in big formations where Generals could mass their troops where they would do the most damage to the enemy. At the time muskets and such were pretty inaccurate but they improved with time. Units started dispersing.

When the atomic bomb was developed, large militaries again realized the danger of concentrating their armies like they once did. Anthropological Perspectives on War.

[Preprint] Full text available as: Abstract Recent empirical and theoretical work suggests that reputation was an important mediator of access to resources in ancestral human environments.
