Yes, humans can be violent but we are obviously more predisposed to be cooperative otherwise we would have never made it this far as a species. You can't put 10,000 unrelated members of any other species in one place and not expect chaos, with humans it's no problem as long as everyone involved has food in their bellies and the promise of going home after a few hours. That's our real defining trait, getting along with each other, our intelligence wouldn't do a lick of good if we didn't have that.
