It's because of people with special needs, i.e., psychopath.

There is always a small percentage of people born with different brains, who could survive due to evolution around game theory. In game theory it makes sense to take more than give, unless mitigated by reputation. A small percentage of people could get by this reputation requirement.

Psychopaths have existed for thousands of years. Genghis Khan and so on, mass murderers, were all psychopaths. They basically created government by preying on farmers, who could not leave their land, once humans evolved to agricultural society. They extorted protection money, and passed these households down to their children--the start of hereditary monarchy and taxes, evolving into today's government also run by psychopaths.

There would be people with bubonic plague, smallpox, or so on who could bring half a population down. Well there is also mental illness. These people look healthy but they're not.

So basically human evolution and history is a story partly of science over diseases and mental illness.

The study of psychopathy is just getting serious, now with genetics, brain imaging, neuroscience, and so on.

It wasn't too long ago people discovered bacteria and that they cause disease. It was only a matter of time before people got to DNA causing illness.

Could you imagine a bunch of Ted Bundy's in suits, walking around? Well basically that is what we have.
