quotations about aggression
Aggressive behavior is adaptive. That is, animals that have made use of aggressive behaviors in specific circumstances have been successful in reproducing and passing their genes on to the next generation, including the genes that allow for aggressive behaviors. By this mechanism, genes associated with aggressive tendencies become more common in the population.

Aggression is simply another name for government. Aggression, invasion, government, are interconvertible terms. The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control. He who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it is made by one man upon another man, after the manner of the ordinary criminal, or by one man upon all other men, after the manner of an absolute monarch, or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy.

Evolutionary theories, including sociobiology, account for aggression by noting that those most aggressive have an increased likelihood of getting food and mating. Hence the aggressive survive and aggressive genes get passed on to succeeding generations. That is, inasmuch as aggression is a strategy that "works" to perpetuate the genetic pool, it is part of the behavioral repertoire of organisms.
