Maybe. Why if primitive tribes were violent, would we not be if reduced 
to their level.

Anthropology, zoology, psychology, and archaeology are converging on the 
  phenomena of the Alpha male, so named from field studies of primates. We
have the video of alpha male chimps organizing a gang to go out and find 
a foraging couple in an adjacent territory. They murder him and any 
progeny she has, then gang rape her while they kidnap her and add her to 
their own harem. Chimps have wars with neighboring groups, and the alpha 
males commit what we call 'domestic abuse' within their own group.

Alphaism is handed down on the Y Chromosome. Behaviorism does not work. 
the assumption that Skinnerian techniques in the schools to prevent 
violence and produce humane adults are insufficient.

But then, we have the example of the Bonobo; the chimp groups are run by 
a streetgang; the bonobo groups are run by an elder sisterhood. Bonobos 
dont kill and eat other monkeys, they dont war with other groups, and 
nobody gets raped. There's no 'domestic abuse' and no violent struggle 
among alpha males for dominance.

The problem is not the religion or the politics or the customs; if the 
alpha males rule, they will engage in violence. If the sisterhood does, 
as we've seen in the Chalcolithic matriarchies, there is peace. Bonobos 
have sex a dozen times a day. There are two forces to control the action 
of men: sex or violence. Pick one; the negative re-inforcement of 
violence, or the positive re-inforcement of sex. Sex changes the brain 
chemistry; guys that get laid more when women are in charge, dont want 
to change the system.
