Böcker i Cambridge Studies in Behavioural Biology-serien

The purpose of this book is to elucidate the general principles underlying animal aggression.

It has often been assumed by those studying animal behaviour that the social system adopted by a species is a fixed product of natural selection. There is now an interesting body of evidence that this is not always the case. In this book, first published in 1991, Professor Lott presents an overview of the understanding of this phenomenon.
