Why do we give a damn about strangers? Altruism is unique to the
human species. It is also one of the great evolutionary puzzles,
and we may be on the brink of solving it. It turns out that, over
the last 12,000 years, we have become more and more altruistic.
This is despite the fact that, the majority of the time, our minds
are still breathtakingly indifferent to the welfare of others. In
solving the enigma of generosity in a world of strangers,
McCullough takes us on a sweeping history of society and science to
warn that, if we are not careful, our instincts and sympathies have
as much potential for harm as for good. The bad news is that we are
not designed to be kind. The good news is that we can push
ourselves to be kind anyway, together.
