Table 2. Summary of the most important results and their relevance to the hypotheses.

Genetically variable trait Evidence that the trait functions in social environment construction Constructed environment Evidence that the constructed environment influences behavioral development Consistent with hypothesis
Aggression More aggressive males are attacked more Aggression in social group Experience of being attacked leads to reduced aggression later 1
Group-size preference Males are attacked more in their preferred group compared with their unpreferred group Aggression in social group Experience of being attacked leads to reduced aggression later 2
