    the result of selection pressure pushing in the direction of human males becoming more able to cope with violence, and thus blows to the face (Puts, 2010, p. 6). And, males have a greater tolerance for pain, which further supports the idea of an evolutionary pressure making them more suited to dealing with violence (Pinker, 2003, p. 316, 345).
