Watch Bi-Polar Ape: Why is America So Violent? Short Documentary Video | Overcrowding & Aggression

“Frans de Waal discusses the evolutionary evidence behind crowding and it’s impact on human aggression.” -YT

“Are humans the Bi-Polar Ape, caught between love and war forever?

Featured on The Guardian, Steven Pinker, Richard Wrangham and Frans de Waal discuss the evolutionary evidence and debate whether human nature is essentially violent like our chimpanzee cousins or essentially peaceful like our equally related bonobo ancestors.” -YT

If you found this video interesting, I found a long piece with de Waal talking about these things. Here is the video.

All in all, I think the whole thing is quite fascinating, and I hope they continue with their work.
