Evolutionary criminology, inspired by evolutionary psychology, seeks the deeper roots of criminal behavior in the process of human evolution. According to this perspective, many of today's human psychological traits, such as violence, are products of natural and sexual selection for survival and reproduction. From an evolutionary viewpoint, male violence has two main causes: first, competition over resources (such as food and territory), which justifies the use of violence to protect them; and second, competition over mates, as in the past, men who used more violence to control access to women had a greater chance of passing on their genes. This research suggests that, from an evolutionary perspective, the key factor in male domestic violence against women is "paternity uncertainty." Since men cannot be entirely sure that their spouses have not had sexual relations with others, evolutionary mechanisms such as sexual control and preventive violence have emerged. These include behaviors such as restricting women's interactions with other men, violence in cases of suspected infidelity, increased violence during pregnancy and even filicide. From another angle, this research shows that a single-factor approach to the etiology of male domestic violence against women lacks sufficient explanatory power for this type of violence. Limiting the causes of such violence to factors such as poverty and unemployment cannot provide an accurate picture of this male behavioral pattern. The evolutionary approach, by deepening causal analyses in this field, identifies the root of such behaviors and leads to a more accurate understanding of this phenomenon.
