I question this statement. Take a trip to your nearest elementary school playground and observe the violence children are capable of. Even very young children - toddlers - exhibit violent behavior: they spontaneously crush and destroy things, fling their toys, spoons and bottles, throw their food, grab and pull hair, scream and rage. Most toddlers are notoriously violent, regardless of their family life. One could say that it is society itself which civilizes and pacifies what is intrinsically a violent species.
