This work has had significant impact on the social and biological sciences and is now a classic point of reference for investigations of behavioral patterns. Lorenz presents his findings on the mechanism of aggression and how animals control destructive drives in the interest of the species.

Translated by Marjorie Kerr Wilson. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book.

Review: While some Lorenz's ideas ("for the good of the species") might be supplanted, his observations of the animal world are still brilliant and make for fascinating reading. This book has been given a bum rap and severely criticized, often for the wrong reasons, by writers I admire. Lorenz never claimed that were were doomed by nature. Lorenz claimed that we are aggressive by nature, but never that we are murderous by nature. Nature has made humans, as it has made most animals, reluctant to kill its own kind. But humans have stepped outside nature. Knives and clubs made it too easy too kill. Guns made it easier still. How bomber American pilots of World War II would have parachuted down into German or Japanees cities and torched thousands of civilians? None of them would have done so. Killing at a distance makes killing too easy. We are not murderers by nature, but we have stepped outside of nature, and we have to make adjustments for that.
