  In this view, the most aggressive "winners" in prehistory
  had the most sex with the most women, and passed on their superior
  fighting genes to the largest number of children. As a
  corollary, this theory says that our evolution was driven by
hierarchical
  processes, so that the most "natural" human social
  system is one of dominance rather than cooperation.

This doesn't make much sense. As a paleoman I would have chosen to
stay out of trouble, not go join the "army", and survive longer.
