Dr. Peterson and Dr. Richard Wrangham exchange thoughts on the human capacity for "appalling violence," especially since we're still "living in the shadow of World War II."
How did humans commit such atrocities while simultaneously being the kindest animals? Are we more aggressive than (say) chimps or bonobos? Is human aggression natural, but appeased by socialization? Or is it the opposite�with society driving and amplifying our violent tendencies? Were hunter-gatherers generous? And what is "proactive aggression"?
