Barash - Evolution, Males, and Violence

This reading is a small part of David Barash's work on evolution and male violence. Barash argues humans have developed similar traits to most polygynous animals. One of the traits is aggression. Males are hyperaggressive because such a trait ensures propagation. Think of the following.

1. Do males kill mostly to propagate?

2. Is female violence different from male violence? How? Why?

3. Why would evolution select a trait like aggression that promotes a premature loss of life?

4. A sensitive question: If evolution favors males who become violent for purposes of propagation, should we justify the actions of those individuals who commit sexual assault?
