You should try being a little more specific. Human history is full of "savagery".

My favorite example is Easter Island. The leaders of these people basically had a contest to see who could build the biggest monument. So, they tore down all their trees to move large stone all over the place. They eventually stripped the island of trees, this led to massive erosion and infertile soil. Native animals died out and crops were tough to grow. So, ultimately, they resorted to eating each other.

Slavery in America's south is another example.

Hitler's genocide.

King Henry VIII killing his wives for not giving him a son.
