Why war happens in our species........

It's all personal gain, greediness has ruled the earth since life began.

So, I agree, that is part of life but so is empathy, and we can choose how we go forward. Just because both cruelty and compassion work in evolution does not mean we should let the cruelty part be dominate part of our species.
