<p><strong>Dr James Walter, Emeritus Adjunctive Professor at Loyola University Chicago, USA, and PhD student Aasma Khan summarise research conducted by Professor Richard Wrangham and peers on the&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://researchoutreach.org/?s=evolution+&amp;submit=" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>evolution</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;of human aggression and other psychological traits. Two approaches are used: comparing aggression in different species, and investigating hunter-gatherer cultures. Walter and Khan outline the relationship between aggression and language evolution and highlight the point in our evolutionary history when aggressive tendencies and other psychological traits may have developed.</strong></p> <p>Different perspectives can be taken into account when studying human evolution.
