Conclusion

The question of whether man is aggressive or peaceful by nature or by nurture is an ancient one, not yet resolved. The best evidence suggests that the question is a false dichotomy and that the two interact to produce the individual and cultural variety seen across human history.

Our ancestors provide controversial evidence as to our evolution. Our biology, particularly our hormones and differences between the sexes, provide insights. However, we need a better understanding of the connection between aggression and severe mental disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and severe forms of depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder). Fundamental drives to pass on our genes, to defend territory, to achieve status, and to establish an individual identity all have explanatory power. Furthermore, like other species, we manage most of our disputes non-physically. Conflict is common but people are more often altruistic and cooperative than aggressive and selfish in their relations with one another.
