Study: Chimpanzees Have Evolved To Kill Each Other
sciencehabit writes A major new study of warfare in chimpanzees finds that lethal aggression can be evolutionarily beneficial in that species, rewarding the winners with food, mates, and the opportunity to pass along their genes. The findings run contrary to recent claims that chimps fight only if they are stressed by the impact of nearby human activity—and could help explain the origins of human conflict as well.

Those kind of people have never been owned by a cat. A brain the size of walnut generates the capacity to play, sulking when ownee admonishes it, buttering up the ownee for treats, etc. And then there is the room and board issue, it turns out most cats have a degree in financial services.
