What makes humans unique from animals? And what unique qualities incline us to wage war?
I think it's important to remember war is considered fought between GROUPS. A free for all isn't really considered a war. War is also a combined effort. So that is why people point to things like ideology because it allows people, even if they aren't part of an official group with authority figures, to act almost like a group.
What makes us want to wage war against other groups? |
Animals do fight in a combined effort though.
Animals DO go to war.
Some even use very human like tactics.
