I have seen a program about chimpanzees on the discovery channel. There is a group that goes out on a nightly bases in order to look for members of rival groups. When they find these intruders they hunt them and kill them. This, in my opinion, is just like human wars over territory.[/QUOTE]Yes, Neighboring chimp tribes will in fact make war. And, they use weapons. It is interesting that in the animal kingdom, contests between members of the same species are almost never fatal (and almost always involve food, territory, or mating). Man and his closest relative are a rare exception (in that their contests prove fatal - I think even man almost always fights for food, territory, or mating).
