It basically is a fundamental part of our psyche. It's never going away.
What a piss-poor cop out argument this is. There are lots of impulsive, animalistic features still baked into our slightly more evolved reptilian brains, and it seems we haven't had much problem ironing out some of the worst of those impulses for net positive outcomes.
Clubbing people from different tribes over the head with tree branches, for example-being one of them.
