I cannot give you a specific gene but I think my point still holds.

Why would machines be interested in rivalry over resources or territory? Like a pond of water? Or women?

We can easily see why animals and humans are though.

I think your point is reductionist nonsense to be frank.

The same genes that may cause competitive behavior are responsible for the opposite as well. There’s much more to this than genes. What about cultural and environmental influences for instance?

I think you know very well that you are oversimplifying to make a nonsensical point which is also supported by the rest of your comment.

Which one do you consider “women” here? Territory or a resource?

In this context, a resource.
