Rob, can you expand on this? I don't know of hives of bees attacking other hives of bees. There are certainly territorial and mating violence. The logistics of war seem to be distinctively human, especially wars based around philosophy.
I agree animals kill, sometimes not for food, that is natural. A cat toying with a mouse, it is natural.
But I've come to see war as the natural state of the human. Sadly.
