human combative behavior presentation
DESCRIPTION
What is the nature of human to human violence? Does the animal world hide a secret about ourselves? What does a statistical analysis of hundreds of millions of violent crimes show us? All of this and more shows us the true nature of Human Combative Behaviour.TRANSCRIPT
HUMAN HUMAN COMBATIVE COMBATIVE BEHAVIOURBEHAVIOURInsights from the Insights from the Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom and and Statistical AnalysisStatistical Analysis
Fundamentally, how and Fundamentally, how and why do why do humanshumans engage in engage in combat with one another?combat with one another?
We'll look at how animals engage in combat as well as analyse statistics from millions and millions of violent
crime incidents from around the world to determine some truths
1.WHAT
ABOUTANIMALS?
By studying By studying animalsanimals in the wild engage in the wild engage in COMBAT, great in COMBAT, great insight insight can be had can be had into how into how humans humans engage in combatengage in combat
"It is appropriate...to look into both man's culture
and his biology, (i.e., animal behavior) to understand man's biologically based, culturally manifested, combative behavior."
-Hunter B. Armstrong
In the ANIMAL KINGDOM, animals engage in combat in just TWO fundamental ways
Same Species: Dominance, highly emotional, mating rights...
rarely lethal, presence of others, intimidation, opponent known
Same Species isALPHA MALE
Type Combative Behaviour
Inter Species: Predator versus Prey, stalk, hunt for food...
more lethal, motivated by resource, dispassionate, initiated not provoked
Inter Species isPREDATORY

2.COMPARINGANIMALS TO
HUMANS
Humansengage in combatwith one another thesame way animals do(but within our own species)
In Human to Human Combat, there are also only TWO types of attackers
Alpha Male
Predator
ALPHA MALEHuman Combative Behaviour
is mostly seen under the umbrella of ASSAULT
(street fights, punch ups, brawls etc.)
Alpha Male: Dominance, highly emotional, reputation...
PREDATORY Human Combative Behaviour
is seen in MUGGINGS, ROBBERY and KIDNAPPING
along with most other violent crimes
Predatory: Resource driven, stalk, dispassionate...
3.STATISTICAL
ANALYSIS
Now that you have seen the logic,
check out the data...
Obtained and analysed from Government statistics from
the US, UK, Australia and Canada
From millions of incidents...
Comparison Between Assault and Robbery
Robbery is most common Predatory crime (includes mugging)
Known
AssaultStats: Most cases of Assault were between people who knew each other
Unarmed
Assault Stats: Only a small number
of Assault cases involved
a weapon
Social
Stats: Most Assaults occur at
home or placeof entertainment
Assault
Alcohol
AssaultStats: About half of all Assault cases involved people who had been drinking
ASSAULTStatistical Analysis same results as
Logic
Same dynamic as two animals of same species engaging in combat
RobberyStats: Most Robberies were between people who did NOT know each other
Unknown
Weapons
RobberyStats: Almost half of all Robbery casesinvolve weapons
HuntingRobbery
Stats: Most Robberies occur on street or other open land
SoberRobbery
Stats: Only small amount of people involved under influence of alcohol
ROBBERYStatistical Analysis same results as
Logic
Same dynamic as animals of different species engaging in combat
