Murders Continued from Page 1A by historians and journalists and lack a psychological perspective, adding that humans practicing mass murder always commit these atroc ities in the name of “moral impera tives” as psychological justification. “The state allows moral imper atives to be an excuse — people re alize that they can use moral im peratives as an excuse for mass murder,” Zajonc said. “To the per petrators, massacres are accepted and justified.” To emphasize his point, Zajonc listed four reasons why sociobiol ogy does not explain massacres: The parallels that sociobiology draws are superficial, human atroc ities go beyond those of animals, some massacres contradict the principle of kin selection and re productive success, and no animal kills on principle — humans justi fy massacres by principle. More than 160 million people were lost this century due to murder. Zajonc used the figure as an example why human violence does not bear a resemblance to animal aggression. “Animals do not do acts of vio lence like this,” he said. “There is no animal species known to have com mitted atrocities like we have. These [massacres] have taken place in all nations and societies.” Zajonc statistically analyzed the numbers of civilians killed by vari ous nations’ leaders and also com pared different cultural groups in an attempt to identify which are the most likely to perpetrate massacres. He then posed this question to psy chologists; “Is there a personality type or disposition that is most like ly to perpetuate mass murder?” Zajonc ended his lecture with an appeal to psychologists to try to de termine what can be done to prevent mass murder. Lisa Nunally, a senior psychol ogy major who attended the pro gram, said, “He put too much em phasis on the parallel between animal and man, when we should be worried about the origin of where this behavior comes from culturally.” Gina Dunford, a sophomore psy chology major who also attended the program, said, “The whole thing was really interesting; it’s just real ly scary ... the fact that we do such brutal things.” News in Brief Monday, Septemb Students exhibit museum models Texas A&M architecture prt fessor George J.
