An overview of physiological Basis of Peace and violence

Abstract

It is a reference to the fact that humans are biological creatures as other animals. Human are the product of millions of years of evolution, their physical make up changing to make them fitter to survive and reproduce. However, although humans are animals, they also have something that no other animal has: the most complex social structure on Earth. They gather in families, tribes, clans, nations. They have an extremely complicated method of interacting. Humans memories are the longest, their interactions the most complex, and their perception of the world all together the most comprehensive. And human has some significant attributes which other animals do not consist with. Hence peace, compassion, empathy, tolerance etc as well as aggression, cruelty are some of these attributes and because of these attributes human has become advanced animal. The central focus in this article is to examine the human physiological basis of peace and violence. In order to emphasise the relationship it has critically analysed the human brain, emotions and the biological basis, and hormones.
