Is psychopathy advantageous from an evolutionary perspective?

Reid Malloy submitted a paper in 2011 suggesting just that. Predators in the wild must be able to identify the weakest and easiest target or they will not eat. Malloy argues that psychopaths share that trait and that they can read the facial emotion from people better than non-psychopaths. Wheeler, Book and Costello in *Criminal Justice & Behavior* (2009) confirm that psychopaths can identify women with a history of victimization just by watching videos of women walking. 

This research suggests that there is an evolutionary advantage to the psychopathic predator, and back in the evolution of modern humans, this may have been a selective advantage to find a female who won't fight off your advances. In modern man, it only serves to make psychopaths better hunters.
