    Male and female serial killers unwittingly reperform the archaic evolutionary roles of hunter and gatherer. Reads like satire. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-03051-001 …pic.twitter.com/xFmr2PeBj5

        "About 55 that male"; did an editor look at this before publishing?! Serial killers are relatively rare but psychopaths are 1% of pop; far more become executives, surgeons, cops, soldiers, salespeople, media personalities and politicianshttps://twitter.com/6suckssex/status/1085012353836556288?s=21 …

        This is quite an ingenious way to look at it. Might say something about my interest, in this side of human proclivity, as was obsessed with serial killers & on the path to being a criminologist. But fell into Anthropology & ended up hunting with folk who were recently FT foragers

        MASSIVE sex differences in serial killers. Women kill acquaintances, relatives, partners, children, males and females, locally, by poisoning, for money. Men stalk and kill strangers, women, widely, by choking, for sex. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330610414_Sex_Differences_in_Serial_Killers … pic.twitter.com/dyy1ANj28g
