1In regards to our evolution, aggression can be viewed as this [blank_start]beneficial[blank_end] mutation that bolsters an organisms ability to [blank_start]survive[blank_end] and reproduce. Typically, an aggressive male would be able to assert dominance by competing over [blank_start]limited[blank_end] resources.
>To gain these resources an organism would involve [blank_start]fighting[blank_end] between two males
>A mate might be attracted to a [blank_start]strong[blank_end] persona allowing rewarding the male with [blank_start]reproductive[blank_end] success.
A mother might also consider the protection of her offspring, something that requires dominant aggressive phenotype.
Humans have a natural predisposition for aggression, evident in our dominance over other species. Another example is Stags [blank_start]rutting[blank_end] to extend genetic attributes onto offspring. Females need to observe a display of [blank_start]resources[blank_end] from the males, showing that they can provide the resources.- Abeneficial
