Human Self-Domestication

When looking at domesticated animals, such as dogs as compared to wolves, amongst many differences we see a clear decrease in aggression. Humans are responsible for the domestication of these pets, but it is possible that we are also responsible for our own domestication.
Given many centuries of killing those of us who were the most aggressive or anti-social we have significantly blunted the percentage of our genome inclined to such undomesticated behaviour.
