Description

Is true altruism possible, or is every kind act driven by a hidden sense of selfishness? For years, science has suggested that a selfish motive lies behind every generous deed. Unto Others challenges this long-held belief by presenting a new perspective on human and biological nature. In this work, philosopher Elliott Sober and biologist David Sloan Wilson provide a scientific defense of unselfish behavior. They demonstrate that altruism is a real and important feature of the natural world. The book offers a broad view of how selflessness works across the animal kingdom, covering everything from self-sacrificing parasites to insects that function as part of a larger superorganism. This publication from Harvard University Press serves as a major scientific event for readers interested in psychology, biology, and human behavior. It provides the evidence needed to understand how cooperation and unselfishness shape life on Earth.
