I don't think that the sequence in which one ape man kills another with a bone is about the violence. It is about the discovery of tools. Hence the famous cut from the very first tool- a bone used as a weapon- to the ultimate tool- a spaceship run by an artificial intelligence.

It's about both IMO. It shows how man develops tools . . . but the first tool they invented was a weapon.

As I recall, isn't the satellite we see a laser? I know it was planned to be one but it's not made explicit in the movie.

Are you talking about the first "spaceship" we see after the bone? According to Amazon trivia:
