Every animal that survives is more predator than prey. Gazelles prey on grass. Humans were predator and prey, they may have been one more so than the other... they were still both.
It looks like there's something major missing between the two lines below:
1. Men are competitive, all have desires and fear death
2. Therefore, our natural state is one of war and conflict
This looks like it has been dodgily paraphased, because point 1 doesn't automatically lead to point 2 and yet there is a 'therefore' lurking around.
