| - | "Konrad Lorenz stated in his 1963 classic, ''[[On Aggression]],'' that human behavior is shaped by four main, survival-seeking animal drives. Taken together, these drives—hunger, fear, reproduction, and [[aggression]]—achieve natural selection. [[E. O. Wilson]] elaborated in ''[[On Human Nature]]'' that aggression is, typically, a means of gaining control over resources. Aggression is, thus, aggravated during times when high population densities generate resource shortages. According to [[Richard Leakey]] and his colleagues, aggression in humans has also increased by becoming more interested in ownership and by defending his or her property. However, [[UNESCO]] adopted the Seville [[Seville Statement on Violence|Statement of Violence]] in 1989 that refuted claims, by evolutionary scientists, that genetics by itself was the sole cause of aggression." --Sholem Stein | ||
