Oh, absolutely. I just meant that people came together basically because of "strength in numbers". This helped people hunt and other such mundane activities, but it also helped to keep people safe from other less friendly people. My point was that you cannot conclude people are naturally non-violent by observing that there is little violence in a system likely shaped in part by the threat of violence.
