    Homo sapiens* the s is not for plural.

    But it's a good thing you clarified that you meant H. sapiens, since there's a strong argument to be made that earlier Homo species are also human. (And also that battles were had even before the divergence of Homo from Hominini.)

    Gee, maybe we can be done with it, since we've been doing it so long, and it's had so many adverse consequences?

    Firstly, I dont condone war or violence, I think we are smart enough to resolve issues without it now.

    But generally speaking, there are massive benefits if youre the winner in a conflict. New resources, new land, new labor force (assuming you dont wipe everyone out completely), reinforcement of your culture and ideaologies, and more. Theres a reason violece is inherit to human nature, it has a long history as a viable and successful strategy.
