It has zero to do with racist research (the same findings apply to historical Europe) and your assertions here are just factually wrong.

Here's a study on middle ages Croatia where 20 percent of skeletons showed cranial fractures (which doesn't even include murder by flesh wounds):

Here's a study on London cemetaries which found a 7 percent rate (again this excludes murder by other methods):

"e.g. famine or other loss of resources, usually man-made by outsiders or despotic rulers"

Demonstrably wrong in the case of the Waorani. It was a blood feud going back generations, long before any contact with other societies. So yes, a Leviathan would've stopped it.

So culturally preserved hatred (which became an outlier over a period of time where other cultures preserved less hatred), not much different than the Hatfields & McCoys.
