types of people who murder you if you're a man versus a woman.

If you're a woman, it's usually someone you know very well or someone you are trying to get to know well.

It's much more likely that a man is murdered by a stranger.

Yes, men murder almost everybody.

Yeah, that's the juice.

Humans face a really unique problem when it comes to dangerous social members.

So lots of social creatures have dangerous conspecifics, is what you would call them.

So a chimp, for example.

There's going to be an alpha chimp who's a jerk, who's going to beat up on you if you try to take the fruit that he wants or the mate that he wants or the space that he wants.

But that alpha chimp is going to be reactively aggressive.

He's going to tell you, don't take that, in his own way, with his fangs and yelling.

He's going to tell you in his own way,

You should probably not take that or else I'm going to attack you and I'm probably going to win.

Yeah, the gorilla will stand up and beat his chest.

Humans, our ancestors almost certainly did something like that, right?

We descended from a common ancestor with chimps.

We almost certainly did something like that, but there was a shift.

I don't know if you've read any of Richard Wrangham's work.

No.

You would love it.
