Consider Rwanda or Cambodia.  Particularly Rwanda.  Who trained anyone
to kill people with machetes?  Think about a behavioral switch, lots
of examples, but I like the locust one.

"Overloading the environment is *not* a new human trait.  *Chimps* do it.  I
think any [social] animal whose numbers are not checked by predation is going to
have wars--you have to be your own part time predator when the environment
gets overloaded.  And the key to this is a behavioral switch.  We *know*
that genes can switch behavior on the basis of environmental signals.  For
example we know exactly what stimulation switches the solitary grasshopper
into the migratory locust developmental pathway."
