I may seem obvious, but the evidence is finally in:
Chicks abused by older birds are more likely to grow up to become abusers themselves, scientists have found.
Researchers studying a colony of Nazca boobies, a colonial seabird, found the birds perpetuate a "cycle of violence".
Juvenile birds that are maltreated by older, non-relatives grow up to become more violent towards other chicks.
It is the first evidence from a wild animal that, as in humans, "child abuse" can be socially transmitted down the generations.
