| Page title: | The Origins of Violence: Is Psychopathy an Adaptation? by Ian Pitchford |
| Keywords: | psychopathy, sociopathy, violence, evolutionary psychology, frequency-dependent selection. |
| Description: | Violence has been attributed to many causes including mental illness, brain damage, child abuse, and social deprivation. This article provides a brief overview of some recent work on sociopathy and psychopathy and argues that models of violence, and explanations of violent acts such as rape and homicide, need to accommodate the possibility that a large proportion of such acts are committed by individuals whose psychology is very different to that of the general population. |
