Abstract:

Evolutionary psychology is the field of a psychology that explains human behaviors of surviving and adaptation skills. Evolutionary psychology is the field of psychology that helps to explain humans’ skills of survival and adaptation. When we explain aggression by evolutionary psychology perspective, aggressive behavior seems to be the crucial part of survival and adaptation. In addition to that, aggressive behavior is diverted within time with culture and it passed beyond being a survival mechanism. Topics like violence in men and women, collective violence, suicide, homicide and rape are important to be discussed and explained by evolutionary psychology perspective to understand its dynamics. An evolutionary view of the phenomenon of violence may emerge explanations for the primitive ages of violence. Today, although it is not possible to explain violence solely with this point of view, sociological, biological and psychological explanations should not be ignored at all.
