Yes, conflict is inevitable, but nuclear weapons limit their scope to a degree, with more "asymmetric" warfare being the present and certainly future trend of wars. So they will be less bloody overall, but still exhausting and costly nonetheless.

But the possibility of nuclear war between say Iran and Israel is very much a probability rather than a possibility, because one side refuses to accept the RIGHT of the other to exist. That is THE prescription for GENOCIDAL conflict.

P.S., Regarding Bonobos, because the females do not create hunting bands, as do regular patriarchal chimpanzees bonobo-controlled territories are very small and undesirable - which is why they are left alone. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out.
