Napoleon Chagnon would beg to differ, he spent decades fighting the ingrained notion that hunter gatherers were inherently peaceful. Despite his first hand experience and evidence from modern day tribes still living in primitive conditions he faced a huge amount of resistance from the scientific community and barely gained recognition for his work a few years before his death at the age of 81. He still gets a lot of posthumous flak from people who refuse to believe that humans inherently use violence as a tool when not restricted by modern morals and societal structures even though that should be plainly evident from literally all of human history right up to this very second.
