I also disagree. Chimpanzees will hunt others in bands and do some pretty horrendous things to what they catch. If we're the only species that has developed the social complexity to enable large-scale war, then it's merely ability that sets us apart, rather than a difference in intent.

Can I post a question about the phenomenon of online dating communities?, because I think that's a really interesting distinction from non-human primates as well.
