Aggressionism

[1]

For the economic policy of restraining trade between states, see Aggressionism (economics).

Aggressionism is the philosophical theory that the only real cause of war is human aggressiveness.[2] This theory has dominated much evolutionary thought about human nature.[3] Nonetheless, many evolutionary biologists discount aggressionism as it promotes extinction.[4] This article could use some more thorough explanation, and have a viewpoint form a psychological perspective. This article provides good information to add. Aggressionism can be caused by what is known as Reactive aggression.This in turn can either be affected by environmental or genetic factors in adults and children.[5]
