Evolution L3
Cards in this deck (4)
- 11) What is aggression? 2) causes of aggression1) Any physical violence, threatened or actual; not an emotion
2) - biological (hunger -> predation, defence of resources and mates; dominance hierarchy)
- cultural (societies, political and economic systems, ideology, religion, law, media) - 21) Adaptive strategy 2) Is aggression an adaptive strategy in humans? 3) What is EEA1) costs: injury, death, benefits: higher RS (costs > benefits : no aggression and vice versa)
2) does not appear so (murder -> imprisonment)
3) Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness - 31) EEA human ancestors? 2) Modern war1) all politically independent pre-industrial societies had warfare (no peaceful groups); Yanomamo (male who killed male, highly sought after for marriage)
2) aggression multiplied by nation states (patriotism, resources...); wars can be expensive though (unlike lethal raids) - 41) Modern human aggression -> male-female aggression 2) Infanticide 3) Modern human violence compared to primates1) tight control of sexuality; violence due to sexual infidelity
2) rare, highest risk: step-father
3) similar, (increased RS, but now, it's maladaptive); appears to be driven by psychological modules evolved in EEA
