It means you react aggressively when someone transgresses you.

This is how like most animals engage in aggression.

So if you imagine a chimp troop, you have an alpha chimp and you have this hierarchy of chimps below him.

And the alpha chimp goes and he takes the fruit he wants or the mates he wants or whatever he wants.

And if someone tries to take that from him, another chimp tries to take that from him, he's going to react aggressively.

He's going to bear his fangs.

He's probably going to bite them.

He's going to push him around.

He's going to scream.

He's going to do things that look like reactive aggression.

And he does that to signal to the chimp that's transgressing him and to the other chimps around that, hey, don't try to take that from me.

I'm still the alpha chimp.

I'm still this big and strong.

And that's the way that almost every animal engages in aggression or deals with aggression when it comes to members of their own species.

Humans are different.

So we still do that.

There's still bar fights.

There's still things like that happen in humans.

But we do it to a significantly less degree than our closest primate relatives.
