Can't be coincidence, and it can't be logical, since it defies "Natural Selection". The human race completely defies natural selection. Most animals weed out the weakest of their species, but humans, out of some demonic jealousy, continually seek to weed out the strongest and fittest.

I think this has more to do with the human traits of compassion, empathy and love,...and not exclusively relying on base animal instinct for reproductive purposes.

There's also the fact that evolution works on a group-wide level. And a group that throws the physically fittest people into a fight with a rival group, sacrificing some of them to give itself a greater chance of victory, is more fit in evolutionary terms than one which doesn't.

Humans are far from being the only species which sacrifices individuals to increase the evolutionary fitness of the group. Every socialised species does it. Look at an insect colony, which tosses away individual lives constantly for the benefit of the hive. It's the same principle taken to a greater extreme.

Or perhaps insects are just possessed by the devil...
