It is a weary lament to lay most acts of violence and aggression, from the strictly local to the truly global, squarely at the feet of men. Yet the association is strong and undeniable
In "Adam's Curse: The Science That Reveals Our Genetic Destiny," Bryan Sykes explores the troubling connection between male biology and various acts of violence and aggression. He notes that throughout history, many violent acts can be traced back to men, creating a significant correlation that persists across various contexts, from local conflicts to global wars.
Sykes' work delves into the genetic and evolutionary factors that may contribute to this pattern of behavior, prompting a reflection on the implications of male dominance in societies. The book serves as a critical examination of how our understanding of genetics intersects with social issues, particularly the darker aspects of human history and behavior.
