Description
The Altruistic Brain uses language accessible to non-scientists so as to present an elegant theory of how human beings are "wired" to produce altruistic behavior in the first instance. That is, it argues that unprompted, spontaneous kindness is a default behavior that comes naturally to human beings on account of evolution, irrespective of religious or cultural determinants in that direction.
