On Aggression

On Aggression is a book by ethologist Konrad Lorenz on instinctual aggression within animals and humans.
Animals, especially males, are, according to the Lorenz, biologically programmed to fight over resources. And these behaviors must be considered by nature's requirements i.e. natural selection. For example an aggression leading to death or serious injury will eventually become extinct unless it evolves a form of natural negulation.
