Konrad Lorenz - On Aggression


Konrad Lorenz 1903 - 1989

Lorenz was a famous natural scientist who lived with and studied geese.

In this book he looks at what makes animals (including humans) fight.

He shows that aggression evolved, like the other big instincts (hunger, flight and sex), because it serves a purpose. He shows how it can go bad.

He describes the rituals that animals (and people) evolved to keep aggression in check.

He notes that rats, in some of their human-like behavior, are evil.

He explains how the rituals of some professional killers, such as wolves and humans, grew into friendship and love (and how instinctive morality is better developed in wolves than in humans).
