Document Summary

Con ict: advancing one"s genetic interests at expense of others" sometimes violently. Advancing one"s own interests can certainly bring tness bene ts (if it works) - eg. if i manage to take the food from you, i get the food. Naturalistic fallacy: tendency to confuse what is with that ought to be- not always right. Discussing the adaptive value of antisocial behaviour is less controversial in non- humans eg. male moose dominating other males in ghts over females. Natural selection favours tendency to (physically) recluse other males from mating. We are living in the least violent time in history. Violent death in contrary small-scale societies and archaeological sites- died at the hands of somebody else - up past 40 or 50 percent of all men in some societies are killed by another guy. More recent - less percent of men getting killed by other men.
