War exists because there are people who only pay attention after receiving an ass-kicking.

War occurs because of the existence of evil men...and I mean men.As long as we have men we will have evil men.And as long as we have evil men we will have war and/or oppression.
It's just that simple.And there's not a damn thing we can do about it...unfortunately.

Perhaps there will be no more war when every nation is a democracy?

The strange combination of sharing with our neighbors while we engage in organized group killing of outsiders— two relatively unusual and puzzling human...and Chimpanzee traits.

Going on the attack against your neighbors costs resources and risks death, two behaviors that are generally bad evolutionary bargains. Unless you win.

The strange combination of sharing with our neighbors while we engage in organized group killing of outsiders— two relatively unusual and puzzling human traits—Not puzzling and certainly not new information. It's the pack mentality. People band together for strength while protecting their turf, goods and family from any real or perceived threat.

This scientist probably does know a lot of theory.
But doesn't know sh-t about history.

"Our legacy need not be our destiny," Bowles said.
The slogan of many disappeared pacifistic groups.
That won't be found in history books because they were "erased"
by their more pragmatic neighbors.

“Bowles, an economist whose career defies academic labels...”
