re the apes book - seems a bit mad to get hung up on apes, seeing as violence is a fact of life throughout the animal kingdom, but there's no denying you can learn an awful lot (or damn near everything you need to know) about people from the behaviour of other social animals
Carl Sagan blames aggression (and the tendency to blindly follow leaders) on the "reptile brain" which still apparently lurks in our modern brian.
