Yeah, I just used that clip because it's one of the better videos of chimps getting nasty with each other. Chimp wars are still not very well understood, because even though they do sometimes fight over territory, sometimes they just come in, kill a few chimps, and go home (or even eat the losers). Ity's very hard to find a human behaviour that has no analogue in the rest of the animal kingdom. Our capacity for things like violence probably in't a very good way to differentiate us from other animals, as it kind of drops us into a club with alot of them. It's hard to argue that we're any "better" than any other animal, in that regard, or "worse".
(agree completely on the discernible reasons btw, it's just the common way of phrasing it we see so often. Our own reasons for doing things are often not discernible to us, lol)
