Correct Answer
A. Science of evolution theoryExplanation
The correct answer is Science of evolution theory. This theory suggests that men are biologically primed to fight wars due to the large amount of testosterone they contain. According to evolutionary theory, traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on to future generations. In the context of warfare, aggression and physical strength, which are associated with higher testosterone levels, may have provided an advantage in conflicts throughout human history. Therefore, this theory explains why men may be more inclined to engage in warfare.Rate this question:
