ABSTRACT
There is nothing new about the mass killings we now call genocide. It has been suggested that modern man may have exterminated the Neanderthals, and the Old Testament books of Exodus and Deuteronomy specifically name ethnic groups that God ordered exterminated.2 There is no period in history that was free of mass killings. It would be nice to think that as civilizations have advanced the practice has diminished, but all evidence points to the contrary. It seems that more people have been killed through genocide in the past 100 years than in any 100-year period in history.3
