Summary Introduction

Introduction

Altruism is described as the motivation to help someone else, even if it comes at a cost to the one doing the helping. However, according to the Darwinian theory of evolution, natural selection prefers genes that foster the survival of the individual, so as you might imagine, altruism has posed a problem for this theory. Nonetheless, evolutionary psychologists have endeavored to find ways to resolve this dilemma.
