A very interesting book on that malarkey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Before_Civilization

I am more inclined to view its subject as homicides rather than warfare, but a most interesting book. Basic premise - based on forensics - is that typically the more primitive the culture the more frequent the rate of homicides. Of further interest is that the only remains to support the argument are hard tissue, skeletal remains. Thus the numbers of soft tissue wounds and causes of death, such as punctured gut, strangulation, cut arteries etc., do not show up and thus give an artificially LOW incidence of homicides in early societies.

I wonder how abortion and infanticides would skew the results though.
