Another part of our species is extraordinary acts of violence. Ever watched a high school classroom where the teacher has no control? Someone gets in a fight, every time. I've been the one to get in the fight myself. I've had entire desks thrown at me, 6 feet in the air. Hell, I saw a teacher's arm get dislocated.
Let's not even touch on wars.
Humans as a species rise out of chaos and form bands, tribes, and then villages. Finally, cities. To go back to hunter-gatherer would be great, but it would last about as long as it took for someone to plant a field of wheat.
IMO, it's completely unrealistic.
