In Aggression, renowned behavioural scientist John Paul Scott presents a landmark scientific investigation into one of the most fundamental and unsettling forces in nature, tracing the biological, psychological, and social roots of aggressive behaviour across a wide spectrum of animal species, including humanity itself. Drawing on decades of pioneering research in animal behaviour and genetics, Scott argues that aggression is not an inevitable, uncontrollable instinct but rather a complex response shaped by environment, learning, and social organisation. This revised and expanded edition builds upon the original's foundational framework, incorporating new findings that sharpen and challenge earlier conclusions.\n\nA cornerstone of twentieth-century behavioural science, Aggression stands as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the origins of conflict at both the individual and societal level. Scott's prose is precise yet accessible, bridging the gap between rigorous laboratory science and broader humanistic inquiry with remarkable clarity. His work carries urgent relevance in an age still wrestling with violence in its many forms — and the question he leaves ringing in the reader's mind is a disquieting one: if aggression can be learned, what does that mean for how we choose to live?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203393659099,"sku":"2026200013611-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4b0816a9-2220-4fc4-ba5c-6c544356deed.png?v=1788148472","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013611-secondhand-aggression","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
