This summary discussion mainly focuses on history, 'war' being defined as between two 'states', which doesn't count in nomadic HG ancestors.
So basically the vast majority of Homo sapiens species lifespan has been war-free. It's really recent.

@RadicalAnthro@c.im ‘There was "little or no war in hunting and gathering [cultures] before the rise of agriculture, he told Live Science in an email.’ So you might surmise when in survival mode, humans more see the benefit of cooperation, with tribal elements, which develops into competition for resources. A matter of numbers, staking out land, along with gains in technology and intelligence to serve to amplify our ability to compete/fight among each other. 🤔
