Today we went back to the aggression topic and filled in the remaining gap - group displays of aggression. This looks at the adaptive reasons behind aggression in the areas of sport and warfare. The reasons for aggression in these areas can largely be separated into those concerning territoriality (protection of resources) and sexual selection (aggressive group members being more likely to be sexually selected). The ppt is here.
The essay title on this topic would be something like ' Discuss one or more evolutionary explanations of group display in humans', so you should make sure that you can write this or at least construct a plan.
