What is the difference between Testosterone aggression, in say a male deer (Buck), and a male Human,

We know deer aggression during rut is extremely aggressive, yet the research I have seen does not explain why, human males, don't have the same problems as say a male deer, if the Male human had a short circuit or malfunction of the area producing the testosterone, that could explain crime in the human behavior field?

Quote from: russ ellis (4 years ago)

Poor decision-making is controlled more than just your hormones. Take for example the Stanford marshmallow experiment tested on children. From Wikipedia, a child was offered a choice between one small reward provided immediately or two small rewards if they waited for a short period, approximately 15 minutes, during which the tester left the room and then returned. The reward was either a marshmallow or pretzel stick, depending on the child's preference. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures. Arguably, these children produce very little testosterone, so it's a no factor here.
