Such content 'can have a learning 構成要素 to it or at least a perceived learning 構成要素,' said Coltan Scrivner,?a 研究 scientist at Denmark's Recreational 恐れる Lab.

Scrivner also explained that?this fascination?likely began around 300,000 years ago, when humans began using language and engaging in proactive 侵略 instead of reactive 侵略.?

'Now this 現在のs a problem for people because, with proactive 侵略, it's hard to tell who is plotting to 害（を与える） you,' said Scrivner.?

'So this put a 選択 圧力 on our minds to learn to 捜し出す out （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） about people who are 潜在的に dangerous.

'True 罪，犯罪 can have a learning 構成要素 to it, or at least a perceived learning 構成要素.?
