ELI5: Why do we feel compelled to hit/break stuff when we are angry?

fight or flight response

humans when confronted with problems have a fight or flight response - animal nature. You choose to fight and tackle the problem, or flight and avoid it.

When you  get down to the most basic instinct, you want to solve the problem by destroying it. If you're angry at something you can't hit or break, you still want to break something.

TL;DR; ELI5;

HULK SMASH.
