I read somewhere there's been something like 3000 wars in recorded human history. Seems like a pretty frequent thing. Thru out human history, raiding weaker neighbouring villages for resources, or access to females would be pretty rational behaviour for your villages growth and continuing success of your close genetic relatives.

So much so that parts of Human Male's anatomy seems to be purposely driven for combat and survival. Things like larger muscles, thickness of skull, thickness of neck. Also, societies seem to come together and cooperate, hunker down, in war and conflict. Also seems to me to have some genetic component to that social behaviour.

Only about 50% of men have reproduced through out human history. Raiding a neighbouring village, killing the man, and taking the best women for wives would be a rational though unethical behaviour. Its exactly what the Vikings did.

In fact, there's a growing concern that large and growing percentage of men, currently unattractive to females (internet incels) will lead to radicalization and possibly conflict in the west. As those man try to better their odds of reproduction. Currently they are genetic rejects.
