John > And maybe more willing to justify and go to war as well?

That was the point I was trying to make. The present US "War Party", largely comprised of Christian fundamentalists and Zionists, appears to support that view.

>the willingness to kill competitors provides a heck of a survival advantage.

So we haven't left the jungle --- which was another point I was trying to make.

Anyway, it's not usually competitors who are being killed (that would be too hard and too costly), it's the unwary, the feeble and those with valuable assets. Again supported by the present circumstance where the US waited over 10 years for sanctions to work before mounting an overwhelming assault on an oil-rich nation prevented by the sanctions from properly arming and defending itself.
