Abstract

The article presents a neuropsychological observation and understanding about altruism. It offers information on other acts of altruism and how altruism becomes a part of human nature. It discusses the argument raised by Robert Trivers of Rutgers University in New Jersey about natural selection and altruism. It also explains how human beings evolved through a process of genetic and cultural co-evolution.
