Reward is a feature that we hope will inspire experts to answer important questions and make their answers available to everyone. It allows a sponsor to signal that they think a question is particularly important by offering a financial prize for established arguments that contribute to the establishment or refutation of the topic. A prize winner can keep the money, apply it to reward other questions, or donate it to charity.

STATEMENT | Natural selection cares only about if the species is able to reproduce successfully. | In humans, as most people who are normal are able to reproduce, its only a matter of finding a mate for them. Some people might prefer that their partner is aggressive while some may want a calm partner. As of this trait passing down to offspring, I would think that these traits are learned in life and genes play a minor role in whether the child is aggressive or not. |

STATEMENT | In-group aggression | In-group aggression differs from out-group aggression. It is characteristically less lethal than out-group aggression and can act to jeopardise the survival of the group. |

CITATION | Aggression can increase evolutionary fitness | There are multiple definitions that exist of 'fitness' in the evolutionary context, as explored in https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCQQFjABahUKEwiFsd-AjPDHAhUHlogKHTdmDfc&url=https%3A%2F%2Foid.wharton.upenn.edu%2Ffiles%2F%3Fwhdmsaction%3Dpublic%3Amain.file%26fileID%3D5444&usg=AFQjCNGp1KQpRoCbkAehYLZuJtQvyMSCiA&bvm=bv.102537793,d.cGU&cad=rja. In this graph, a gene associated with fitness is one that leads to a greater number of successful offspring. From the above link, a more explicit measure of fitness: "Waddington's characterization of fitness as 'the capacity to contribute offspring to the next generation' (1957, p. 109) is a standard conception of fitness which is explicated by defining fitness, in the absolute sense, as an expectation. Crow & Kimura define it as follows: We define fitness, or selective value, as the expected number of progeny per parent. [...] (Crow & Kimura, 1970, p. 178)." |

This article puts forward seven different "leading candidates for adaptive problems to which aggression might be an evolved solution." Multiple nodes into n2 were adapted from this article, with some additions. |
