Lorenz's theory of aggression
Following his study of birds, Lorenz proposed a theory of aggression which shared many of the ideas of evolution.
He suggested that aggression is instinctual, and occurs in response to biological stimuli and follows predictable rules.
He also believed that aggression was vital to ensuring a balance in the animal kingdom and that stronger genes were selected.
His major work (completed in 1963) is titled 'on aggression'.
