Human species is only known life form spending inordinate amount of time and resources designing new ways to exterminate itself ...

"Only known" is right. Scifi explores interesting speculative examples (esp. the cautionary tales about elder civs self-destructing)

Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space is a good place to start on those tangents, for instance
