    Well, yes, but also no? Of course a group of humans that is entirely content, has zero wants or needs, is much more likely to be docile and friendly. But how is that helpful? Under more hostile conditions it is not hard to imagine the stress causing abnormal behavior in individuals, but it is also more relevant to scientific observation.
