3: Are we altruistic?

Do we care more about other people or about ourselves? Why do we behave in generous ways? Are humans the only species to give to others without any hope of a reward? The third episode of Intermediate English looks at these issues, searching for answers with the help of neuroscience, evolutionary theory and global economics. https://www.cafonline.org/docs/default-source/about-us-publications/caf_wgi_10th_edition_report_2712a_web_101019.pdf https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/08/human-altru...
