Well, if this were true, how ingrained is violence in the human species in general? And not just in the most violent, or the best violent males as they were those who carried their seeds on into the next generation. This process, which rewarded violence, would therefore change the whole population over time. In a way it means that men were programmed over time to be better at being violent, which got them on two legs, and women were conditioned to choose those males who were the most efficient fighters. In other words, women rewarded the winners.
I don't know how well that bodes for writers, where do we fit in this survival of the best violent. At least there is the slight consolation that those apes that stood to fight were using their brains to win more than just brute force.
