now this suggests that humans developed something after they separated from chimpanzees which allows them to be downright nasty
However if you read much about Chimpanzee society and behavior they can nasty in their own way - actually quite horrific. They might not be spiteful but they can be consciously cruel for other, maybe more temporal, reasons.

this is particularly interesting to me as i study one rather poignant example of human nastiness, genocide. so let's find some other articles and discuss what is it that makes humans want to hurt each other.
I think was is unique about humans is the ability to organized themselves under the banner of religion or nationalism to commit nastiness on levels not possible in other species. Has there ever been a war or genocide were religion or nationalism was not the prime mover?
