Evidently, I didn't get the memo (and neither did most of biological psychology, bio-anothropology, evolutionary biologists, evolutionary psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists... the list goes on....) There's a great deal of productive research being done from a functional biological perspective.
Also, there's nothing in the questions presented in the OP that suggests that human nature is taboo to apply to a discussion of war.
