Could that simply be nurture rather than nature?
Looking back at the societies of the first nations, there were some cultures that were rather violent, but the majority were peaceful and lived harmoniously without the rule of 'law' as we define it. Like I quoted earlier, their more primitive culture seemed to be far more fair and enlightened than the much more advanced Europeans. As Brant said, they had no prisons or dungeons.
