>Eh, war is simply fun. It’s appealing to males in particular, and our testosterone tends to lock in the intoxication. There’s a reason that Battlefield is one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time, and that it’s very hard to find any videogame that doesn’t involve some kind of warfare.

I think there is an argument to be made that Battlefield doesn't involve any warfare.

You can't have an evo psych narrative where testosterone makes men "love warfare" and then point to a game that's nothing like actual warfare as evidence.

Edit: Your reply is dead so I can't reply to it, but you're heading in the right direction to observe that the behaviors people actually seem to have evolved to prefer include those such as eating, resting and listening to stories.
