No I doubt humans will be peaceful.

We need a universal enemy.

It's not over population so much as changing how we live with others, We used to have a small group that you knew personally, now we have a much larger group that some of who I have never met in real life, and if I disagree with them I can de-friend them. Reality does not work like that and I think that social media in particular is setting us up for having issues around that.

Social media as a factor; interesting concept, and I have a friend that would not only agree that it is a factor, she would say it is the only factor.

WHY do humans need a universal enemy? What makes us different from other species who kill only for survival? Are our brains just not big enough? Or are they too big?

'Tribalism' which is always under the surface of nearly every human interaction.

Simply put 'them' and 'us' and MOST noticeable in religion and nationalism.

Often for the disaffected ( which is sadly a growing group for the reasons you mentioned and many others) is a growing subset especially in America. If you add the mentally ill then you get a type of person who sees themselves isolated and the rest of us are 'them'.
