Since fitness is the representation of one's genes in future generations, producing one child or killing someone else's child has nearly the same effect on one's genetic fitness. This drives the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_effect Cinderella effect]. However, conflict can also lower reproductive fitness as one risks death or losing important social ties by a bad reputation, hence it happens rarely, especially in animals with sophisticated reputation systems such as in humans. Male aggression may also be fueled by [[hybristophilia]] and [[Scientific Blackpill#On_average.2C_women_are_attracted_to_the_Dark_Triad.E2.80.94narcissism.2C_manipulativeness.2C_.26_psychopathy|women's preference for psychopathy]], which may have co-evolved as a reproductive strategy. | Since fitness is the representation of one's genes in future generations, producing one child or killing someone else's child has nearly the same effect on one's genetic fitness.

Another strategy is competing with other species, eliminating animals and or plants and use their space and resources for you and your kin. This, however can have a detrimental effect on fitness, as humans have ecological dependence on other species (food chain). Animals aren't usually your direct competitors (with [[dogpill|exceptions]]), but they do take up space on our planetary surface. | Another strategy is competing with other species, eliminating animals and or plants and use their space and resources for you and your kin.
