People fight, it is normal.
The reason why is because humans are extremely energy intensive biological systems. 20% of your current daily intake of calories goes to your brain, which is an enormous factory which requires loads of energy. In order to power such a powerful brain, any species would have to resort to being a heterotroph (takes energy from other organisms) rather than an autotroph (makes energy for itself) because you would get the same energy from eating grass 24/7 as you do from one piece of steak or pork. It's simply more efficient, therefore we can assume that most if not all intelligent animals (such as dolphins) are very likely to be carnivorous. Now what does that mean?, you might ask. Well, carnivorous animals are likely to be more violent towards other creatures just by default, as it's just a natural instinct. Humans don't need this violence anymore because they can just go to the store and buy a steak instead of having to violently hunt it down. This trait will eventually fade away over the next 3-4 million years if humans are still biological by that time.
There's your answer.
