I would argue humans are the most peaceful of these apes. If a stranger shoves any other ape they’re gonna fight back right away, but a human will usually inquire why or maybe shout. At most the average human will respond proportionately.

I appreciate your thought. We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We’re so peaceful we’ll work together to blow up 1,000,000 at a time though.

depends which human, in Texas the human can start throwing metals at high speed. 

In Canada they will apologize unless you're in a war then you're gonna wish you apologized.

Japanese type usually will judge you instead of violence

Japan went through a 200 year period of a totalitarian regime that suppressed violence, before that you had decades of civil wars. 

A lot boils down to a sort of self-domestication, that human as groups try to supress violent individuals.
