The gov. has power because the people will it to have power and want it to have power.
Also plenty of studies done that show the human brain is hardwired to show less empathy or compassion to those who are different from them or even believe in different things.This is why genocide can happen to ones neighbors.
I balked at his idea that our primate cousins started waging aggressive wars because of human contact. That seems a bit far fetched and the stretching of data to fit the model he has a belief in.
People are war like for self preservation reasons in the pursuit of resources to survive and for safety from those who believe differently and want to impose their ideas and beliefs on others to often remake the world and society into a version of their utopia. If you resist then the war is going to happen.
