Frontmatter -- Contents -- Editors’ Preface -- List of Contributors -- Aggression in Humans and Other Animals – A Biological Prelude -- Aggression/Violence in Humans and Other Primates – A Historian’s Prelude -- What Theoretical Biology has to say on Aggression in Humans and Animals -- Violence among our Close Relatives - Aggression in Non-Human Primate Societies -- Explaining Aggression: The Ultimate-Proximate Problem -- Human Sex Differences in Aggression from the Perspective of Sexual Selection -- The Logic of Aggression -- What causes Large-Scale Variation in Homicide Rates? -- One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest: Violence, Uncertainty, and Safety -- Index
Summary: In this work aggression and conflict in man and other primates are interpreted in the light of evolutionary biology and game theory models. Unitl now interdisciplinary collaboration between the humanities and the natural sciences has been rare and hampered by different methodologies and terminology. Nevertheless, such cooperation is essential for elucidating the causes and consequences of aggression in humans and in explaining what shape aggression takes in particular situations. The aim of this volume is to present empirical and theoretical studies from biologists and social scientists to create an interdisciplinary framework for understanding aggression.
