darwin's theory about why humans have a high propensity to be altruistic and to care about each other is this:
if you are in a group of people that you care about, you will fight harder, win more often, and survive better, thereby continuing to give birth to more humans that have a high capacity for caring.
wow, how romantic is that?
also, because humans are monogamous, they care more. if all the meanest males are the only ones getting to mate cause they win fights, they would pass on the mean gene and no one would care. however, if there is a mate for everyone, then the caring gene goes on to live another day.
yep, i guess that's all i have to say about that.
