Attempts to understand the fundamental forces shaping conflict between attacking and defending groups can be hampered by a narrow focus on humans and reductionist, oversimplified modelling. Further progress depends on recognising the striking parallels in between-group conflict across the animal kingdom, harnessing the power of experimental tests in nonhuman species and modelling the eco-evolutionary feedbacks that drive attack and defence.
试图理解塑造攻击和防御群体之间冲突的基本力量，可能会受到狭隘地关注人类和简化、过度简化模型的阻碍。进一步的进展取决于认识到动物王国中群体间冲突之间引人注目的相似之处，利用非人类物种的实验测试的力量，并对驱动攻击和防御的生态进化反馈进行建模。
