Jared Diamond talks about a few tribes in Papua New Guinea and how vengeance is nothing out of the ordinary to them; it's more of a responsibility.
He also briefly mentions the role of government in all this and how the tribes seemed to have approved of a government when it was put in place since in reality, they don't want to do any of the killing.
At the very end he relates this to the human desire for vengeance and how the tribes may be on to something.
I recommend it - he writes well and it's a good read - definitely feels shorter than the 8 pages.
