Dear @Annabella_O

Just dropping a line to say hello. Things have been quite hectic with all the work and travel but I had to touch base with my bff and let you know I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. Not as if that is scientifically possible, right? LoL We’ll have to catch up soon. 

Tell Jacob hello. Miss you, AB.

Body Pleasure & The Origins of Violence

ernestoriley:

“The percent likelihood of a society being physically violent if it is physically affectionate toward its infants and tolerant of premarital sexual behavior is 2 percent (48/49). The probability of this relationship occurring by chance is 125,000 to one. I am not aware of any other developmental variable that has such a high degree of predictive validity. Thus, we seem to have a firmly based principle: Physically affectionate human societies are highly unlikely to be physically violent.”

“Societies which value monogamy emphasize military glory and worship aggressive gods.”
