Demonic males
Book • 1996
Demonic Males examines the evolutionary factors contributing to human male violence by studying the behaviors of chimpanzees and other great apes.
The book contrasts the aggressive societies of chimpanzees with the more peaceful bonobos, highlighting the role of social structure and female dominance in reducing violence.
It argues that while humans have a genetic predisposition to violence, societal structures and intelligence can mitigate these tendencies.
