Peace and war are human concepts.

So there is no war, there is no peace without people.

One could argue that certain species of animals sometimes go to war with each other or different species altogether (examples of the top of my head that I can recall are chimpanzees and crows), but it really depends on how you want to define it. It’s certainly more complicated than people would like to believe. But peace could absolutely exist without people, why do you think species learned to coexist before humans came around?

Species don’t learn to coexist, natural selection takes care of that.

Again, it’s not peace, because peace is a human concept. Therefore peace couldn’t exist without humans. What you are talking about is existence, a fully balanced eco system.

And the lion will still eat the gazelle and male butterflys will still force themselves on the females, so many of them die during sex. Doesn’t make it war. A clownfish coexisting with an anemone is not peace, it’s evolution.

Peace is a decision. But it only works if everyone decides on the same thing
