Seeing Roy-Boy step up to the plate and take on the
subject reminds me of the bonobos. As I looked for a
relevant link(s), I came across this info having to do
with our genetic predispositions as it relates to our
familial line (primates).
Why is it that bonobos can live in peace, but chimps
can't, and the larger primate, man, is hopelessly in
love with the concept of wars and aggression? Could
it be a biological predisposition? Certainly
something to consider:

It would seem we may have a genetic predisposition to
aggression.
Me, I'd rather be a bonobo and not have to deal with
all the tumult!
