I wonder if this is related to the type of milk, or could it be because
they did not nurture by breastfeeding?? I think it would be interesting to
look at cultures or communities (especially from history) that had
traditions of artificial feeding, or of lack of body contact with their
babies (ie detachment parenting), and the reputation for warlike behaviour.
