The violence that the animal man displays is in most cases no different than
that shown by other species. It is not a learned behavior. It instead is
hard wired. what is learned is the control of these behaviors that are at
odds with our psychological evolution. You will often find cases of animals
eating their young but this is a relatively rare occurrence with humans. And
would be considered the paragon of violence. Most of what people do can be
found duplicated in other species. Its just that societal pressures keep us
from doing it as quickly as our animal brothers.
