There is little doubt among biologists and anthropologists today that humans are innately violent. The Blank Slate Myth, so thoroughly taken apart by Stephen Pinker in his book of the same name, seems to have made the leap from Humanities and Social Sciences departments of modern universities and become public orthodoxy.
It's troubling when so many cannot distinguish between an explanation for behaviour and an excuse of that behaviour, and where rational discourse on the subject of human behaviour becomes impossible owing to narrow dogma and a hostility to empiricism and uncomfortable truths.

This is such a ridiculously erroneous statement that I can't quite decide if you meant it as a joke or if you are just that flat out stupid.
There are literally, thousands, of anthropological ethnographies that refute that statement. There is absolutely, unequivocally, NO anthropological consensus on the 'innate violence' of the human species.
This is so utterly laughable that I sincerely hope that you are joking.
