I don't think humans are immune to this. If we were, people wouldn't be "teaching lessons" by beating the snot out of someone.
The point is, that we do have the ability to rise above violence.
How do I know this? I have a very short and nasty temper... or at least I did. I used to fly off the handle with the right sort of provocation. I learned to recognize that this was *not* and acceptable method interacting with my fellow humans, that provocation is empty if you don't react to it...
I still lose my temper from time to time, but nowhere near what I used to.
I have seen what violence can lead to and it isn't pretty.
