What drives living creatures — from the simplest organisms to the complexities of modern man — to acts of aggression? The Natural History of Aggression presents the proceedings of a landmark symposium held at the British Museum (Natural History) in London in October 1963, bringing together some of the foremost scientific minds of the era to examine one of biology's most profound and consequential questions. Edited by J.D. Carthy of Queen Mary College, London, and F.J. Ebling of the University of Sheffield, this volume chronicles a rigorous, multi-disciplinary investigation into the origins, mechanisms, and manifestations of aggressive behaviour across the animal kingdom and human society. Drawing on the fields of zoology, ethology, psychology, and anthropology, the contributors argue that aggression is not a simple or isolated phenomenon but a deeply embedded biological imperative with far-reaching social implications. The symposium format — a hallmark of the Institute of Biology's distinguished series — brings a rare dynamism to the scientific discourse, preserving the intellectual tension and debate of the original sessions. A seminal text that bridges the gap between animal behaviour and human conflict, this volume raises questions that remain as urgent and unanswered today as they were in 1963.
