What's somewhat interesting, and would make for a good thought experiment is how would society develop if said society adopted BrixtonJ's policy of zero agonistic behaviour- no display/shouting/etc but straight to direct physical confrontation.
The implications would be far reaching and pretty serious I suspect.
It would totally separate man from the animals, in that we'd become the only species to go from insult to action without the associated warning period, and would lead (assumption) to everything becoming extremely unpredictable, as your intentions in any given situation would be almost impossible to predict.
Just like BrixtonJ's cycling, from his description come to think of it.
