But they do. Sometimes chimpanzees gang up on member of their pack and kill him.
people misbehave in a large part due to civilisation, which reacts naturally in developing those software at a different level, which is slow adaptation.
Civilisation is the extension of tribal relations to all the people of a city (or state). Humans tend to have natural tribal relations with a few dozen people. To have those extended to hundreds or thousands requires culture, laws, and government. So it is not that civilisation causes misbehavior, it's that it redefines the boundaries within which fraternal behavior is mandated. Steven Pinker's book "The Better Angels of Our Nature" argues that this civilizing influence has been very successful in reducing misbehavior.
