Yes, that book mostly confirms what I'm saying l, at least as far as the wikipedia summary can be trusted:

> About 90-95% of known societies engage in war. Those that did not are almost universally either isolated nomadic groups (for whom flight is an option)

This perfectly describes hunter-gatherer societies. All of the other examples cited in the wikipedia summary, going back as far as the Mesolithic, are settled agricultural societies.
