I thought war-like hunter-gatherers was the general belief of the status quo...? I mean, remember how much flak Avatar got?
I'm getting contradictions here. Your anthropology studies are saying that they were more warlike, mine are saying that they tended to be more peaceful. What's going on? People like Lawrence Keleey and Stepen Pinker have evidence of savagery, while people like Thom Hartmann or some of the authors cited in the article have evidence of relative peace/civility. (Which is what I mean by revisionism. There's two completely different explanations of the lives of HGs, both widely accepted, something is up on somebody's side. Or maybe I'm just picking up on some false dichotomy that isn't there, IDK. Either way, that's not really the main issue here). *sigh* The age old anthropological debate continues...
