I think the truth is that's its human nature

If you believe in evolution, probably the reason that man is the apex predator is his unparelled levels of aggression and violence, which has no equal in the animal kingdom. Society socialises us to set aside these primal impulses, but when the veneer is stripped away, what bubbles under the surface comes to the light.
