Statement DescriptionIn-group aggression differs from out-group aggression. It is characteristically less lethal than out-group aggression and can act to jeopardise the survival of the group.
Further, aggression is a high energy, high risk trait and following N2 need only be promoted by the particular circumstances in which it does enhance reproductive success i.e. resource scarcity. Otherwise may be negatively correlated to fitness.
Inhibitory mechanisms to aggression
Statement DescriptionMultiple species including ours have evolved inhibitory (seretogenic) mechanisms to aggression.
Firstly this suggests that aggression is not unreservedly correlated to fitness and secondly, demonstrates that genes associated with a lack of aggression are (also) promoted by natural selection.
