Overview
The nature of human aggression can be adressed by considering of Tinbergen’s four ethological questions:
- functional explanation,
- phylogenetic origin,
- developmental origin and modification through experience, and
- mmediate causes.
Is homicidium an adaptation or is it not? What is a function of homicidal fantasies?
Phylogenetic origins of aggression is tied to its evolutionary function. Aggression can be observed throughout the animal kingdom. The neural circuits that underlie aggressive behaviour lie in the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain.
Key words:
aggression, evolution, ethology, phylogenesis.
