But if one of the benefits isn't "the potential to control and dominate all other humans," THIS primate species isn't going to go for it.

You would need to explain yourself better.

No matter how much most humans SAY they'd love peace, the majority of them are incapable of letting go of their primate instinct to dominate others. Those who have evolved past that are still too small a minority for this species to be capable of peace in the foreseeable future.

I am a scientist!
An example of how one person can make a massive change. M.A.D.D. Mothers Against Drunk Driving was started by a women that lost her daughter. Her group lobbied and now there are drunk driving laws worldwide.

Well, there were. But now we've elected psychopaths who will repeal all those laws because their constituency always resented those laws. That is humanity for you: one step forward, one step back. Those who can remember history are doomed to watch those around them repeat it over and over.
