So, I stumbled onto this little gem quite by accident. It turns out Chimpanzees can make war, commit murder and even genocide of another rival tribe. And yes I say Tribal as Chimpanzees do display behaviors t that while primitive can be considered tribal, though I understand this may be up for some debate. But the bottom line is this. They can plan and carry these things out and then celebrate them afterwards. It makes one wonder. Common theory is that Man predated war and that war, murder and Genocide were human inventions.
This though...may hint otherwise.
Another tidbit of information here. The BBC got documented footage of one tribe of Chimpanzees raiding the territory of another. This looks almost military in the way they move and operate before they spring an ambush.
This suggests that war, murder and death may predate Humanity instead of the reverse. What do you all think?
