Xim,
Hightly recomend The Red Queen. Great book.
Your argument reminds me of one made in The Rebel Sell by Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter
Be cautious of your facts and the conclusions you draw. We are a very flexible species and while certain rules apply consistantly their manifestations and execution can vary based on individuals and cultures. This is because we respond to our metal environment rather then what's really out there.
It's nice to see the animal underneath the social veil but never attempt to discard it for we cannot function without it. Also don't expect many to agree with you. Most people omit animal nature from their ego. It's not part of their identity and they won't take kindly to having their Shadow shown to them.
I've found the best way to avoid pitfalls is to ask myself "how do I apply this information?" This tends to put everything into perspective.
