opposite to those that result from high levels of early grooming

Social agression in many species occurs more in males is explained with reference to

Brief period of testosterone release that occurs around birth in genetic males is though to

organize their nervous systems along masculine lines hence creating the potential male patterns of social agression to be activated by high testosterone levels that are present after puberty
