Abstract
In this chapter we try to formulate a model of the evolution of antisocial behavior in our species, to assess the extent to which out model accounts for current knowledge, and to derive new hypotheses amenable to test. We will paint with a broad brush but we will try to make clear, in what follows, which is theory unsupported or unsupportable by observation, which is observation unexplained by theory, and which is some of both.
