It seems that we are the only animal that goes to war. Based on new research carried out by geneticists, neuroscientists, primatologists and archaeologists, it will be demonstrated that what domesticated our species was nothing less than the invention of capital punishment that eliminated the least cooperative and most aggressive among us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About the researchers<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Richard Wrangham<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a professor of Biological Anthropology at Harvard University.
