This lecture explores the evolutionary psychology behind aggression and war, discussing topics such as anger, rage, intrasexual competition, and the role of violence in different contexts. It delves into theories like the recalibration theory, parental investment theory, and the young male syndrome, highlighting the gender differences in aggression. The lecture also examines the psychological adaptations that predispose humans to engage in war, the motivations behind warfare, and the impact of war on societies throughout history.
