Primate behaviour.

I once read an article in National Geographic on the Bonobo chimps who are a peaceful grouping of primates on one side of the river. They share food, mates, groom each other and live in peace.
Across the river from them are a barbaric grouping of chimps, that fight to the death, steal, and abuse the females in their group.

How does this happen and why does it not make sense?
We are born not so far from these chimps in social make up.
