- Summary:
- Philosopher Elliott Sober and biologist David Sloan Wilson demonstrate indubitably that unselfish behavior is an important feature of both biological and human nature. Their book provides a panoramic view of altruism throughout the animal kingdom--from self-sacrificing parasites to insects that subsume themselves in the super-organism of a colony to the human capacity for selflessness.
