11. “Many of the sex differences are found widely in other primates, indeed, throughout the mammalian class. The males tend to compete more aggressively and to be more polygamous; the females tend to invest more in parenting. In many mammals a greater territorial range is accompanied by an enhanced ability to navigate using the geometry of the spatial layout (as opposed to remembering individual landmarks). More often it is the male who has the greater range, and that is true of the human hunter-gatherers.” --Steven Pinker, “The Blank Slate”

18. The most violent age is not adolescence but toddlerhood: in a recent study, almost half the boys just past the age of two … engaged in hitting, biting, and kicking. “Babies do not kill each other, because we do not give them access to guns and knives. The question … we’ve been trying to answer for the past 30 years is how do children learn to aggress. But that’s the wrong question. The right question is how do they learn not to aggress?”--R. Tremblay in the journal “Science.”

19. “So that in the nature of man, we find three principal causes of quarrel. First, competition; secondly, diffidence; thirdly, glory. The first maketh men invade for gain; the second, for safety; and the third, for reputation. The first use violence, to make themselves masters of other men’s persons, wives, children, and cattle; the second, to defend them; the third, for for trifles, as a word, a smile, a different opinion, and any other sign of undervalue, either direct in their persons or by reflection in their kindred, their friends, their nation, their profession, or their name.” -- Hobbes, “Leviathan”

38. A male Homo floresiensis returns from the hunt. Found on the island of Flores in Indonesia, these ancient humans grew no taller than a three-year-old modern-human child. Their small size led scientists to nickname the species "hobbits," after the tiny Lord of the Rings characters. The first such individual found was female. Since then at least seven individuals have been found, including males.
