This article argues that aggression in mammals has a significant phylogeny component, and the level of violence we experience today in human populations is the same as we would expect to see in prehistoric bands or tribes. It is commonly accepted that violence has a culturally inherited trait, but it is also has a highly heritable human trait. The change in violence however has occurred with time due to sociopolitical organization of human populations. This study was preformed via lit review from one data set.
FYI: conspecific means (of animals or plants) belonging to the same species- perhaps I am the only one that didn't know this, but just in case.
