Study Finds Human Violence Not Hardwired as Previously Thought

Study Finds Human Violence Not Hardwired as Previously Thought

Audio narration · Coming soon

A comparative study of 100 primate species, including humans, reveals that everyday aggression and lethal violence do not share a simple evolutionary basis. The research indicates that frequent mild aggression does not predict lethal behavior, which follows distinct evolutionary patterns such as infanticide and lethal attacks. This challenges previous assumptions about the innate nature of human violence.
