Anthropology deals with it a lot!

I'm aware. It's hard for me to navigate anthropology though. I can find some info on the Web, but I don't really know what to look for, with books.

Helps to know it's divided into 4 sub-diciplines: Physical Anthro, Cultural Anthro, Archeology, and Linguistics. Each of these would approach the various questions through their own lense, finding the one that matches your topic interest best. You're probably gonna want to look for things regarding cultural anthro, since that's gonna handle the "why" of war more directly
