For the first time, anthropologists, archaeologists, primatologists, psychologists and political scientists are approaching a consensus. Not only is war as ancient as humankind, they say, but it has played an integral role in our evolution.
The theory helps explain the evolution of familiar aspects of warlike behaviour such as gang warfare. And even suggests the cooperative skills we’ve had to develop to be effective warriors have turned into the modern ability to work towards a common goal.
I guess they are trying to tell us that war is more natural to humans than peace is!

I dont know much about all that disciplines, but if it is so, as you stated over there, I have an idea:
Lets bring all that wise man who discovered such amazing thing to one place, get them weapons, and make them work in cooperation to kill each other.
If they would ask for a reason, lets not answer. Did someone answered to all that dead soldiers the question – “why?”.
