Does sexual selection explain why human aggression peaks in early childhood?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 August 2009
Abstract
Archer provides seemingly compelling evidence for his claim that sexual selection explains sex differences in human aggression better than social role theory. I challenge Archer's interpretation of some of this evidence. I argue that the same evidence could be used to support the claim that what has been selected for is the ability to curb aggression and discuss implications for Archer's theory.
