Sexual selection does not provide an adequate theory of sex differences in aggression

摘要

Our social role/biosocial theory provides a more adequate account of aggression sex differences than docs Archer's sexual selection theory. In our theory, these sex differences arise flexibly from sociocultural and ecological forces in interaction with humans' biology, as defined by female and male physical attributes and reproductive activities. Our comments elaborate our theory's explanations for the varied phenomena that Archer presents.
