I don't need wiki to inform my understanding of human nature, and reducing the discussion to "human nature" is a logical fallacy. But that is the prevalent get-out-of-jail-free card that is used to justify the genocide and land theft throughout the world European culture has displayed over the past 500 years.   

I suggest you learn the real history of Europe, starting with the dark ages and the following centuries of constant murder and warfare that destroyed 80% of the population, murder and warfare that continues to this day.  Read about the culture-wide discovery doctrine where European heads of state divided up first the Americas between themselves, and then Africa.  They got off the boats claiming to own everything they saw, which is psycho. Pay attention to the disparity of wealth that caused such horrendous suffering throughout Europe right up through the 19th century.  

I'm not ignorant.  On the contrary, I am well informed by many years of study.
