Is this evopsych bullshit?
"This study shows us that bullying seems to be associated with some meaningful outcomes that help explain why kids do it," Volk says. "This isn't just 'broken kids' doing bad behavior; it's getting them important things that matter."
Yeah, same as bandits.
Volk says the results support the idea that adolescent bullying is, at least in part, an evolutionary adaptation that may help individuals pass on their genes to future generations.
Yep, evopsych bullshit.
calling this evopsych is like calling freud the father of psychology
this is just them saying something that they like the sound of, humans are fundamentally an extremely social species and there are way more things that go into passing on our genes than just having kids; being celibate and just raising the kids of your siblings is more efficient at spreading your genes.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Unfortunately the study is behind a paywall.
