This book explores the role of aggression in primate social systems and its implications for human behaviour. Many people look to primate studies to see if and how we might be able to predict violent behaviour in humans, or ultimately to control war. Of particular interest in the study of primate aggression are questions such as: how do primates use aggression to maintain social organization; what are the costs of aggression; why do some primates avoid aggressive behaviour altogether. This book brings new information to the topic as well as an integrated view of aggression that combines important evolutionary considerations with developmental, sociological, and cultural perspectives.
