Sir, Christopher Caldwell's provocative piece on "youth-bulge wars" ("Youth and war, a deadly duo", January 6/7), based on the work of Gunnar Heinsohn, arguing that there is a correlation between violence and youth (especially "a glut of young men" 15-29 years of age), has generated interesting responses from two of your readers. Eugene Hamori ("Time to face the truth about our atavistic origins?", January 13/14) makes the point that few "liberal" commentators will acknowledge, that aggressive capability is part of our "genetic luggage".
