Geekery: They’re Cute & Love to Murder Each Other
A lot.
A group of evolutionary biologists have published a study on the roots of human lethal violence. When Homo sapiens first showed up about 1 in 50 of us were killed by other members of our species, which made us six times more murderous than most mammals. If you want to read more on that (it’s facsinating) you can check the paper out here.

I’d like to suggest a few new Space Marine chapters based on what we’ve just learned (as the Space Wolves just aren’t murderous enough anymore):
- Emperor’s Meerkats
- Space Lemurs
- Dark Sea Lions
- Imperial Mongooses
- Blood Baboons
Put all ideas for battle cries, chapter symbols, and primarch names in the comments, please. You will be judged.
