Ditto.
Ants have also practiced warfare against one another, for perhaps a longer time than any other species:

On a side note: I feel like the title crosses "not too or interesting", goes past "interesting or revolutionary!", and somehow winds up in "just plain wrong/easily dismissible". His subtitle makes it even worse: "Many evolutionists believe that humans have a drive for waging war. But they are wrong and the idea is dangerous."
Less an attempt to persuade, and more like preaching to the choir, who ever that maybe.
