Our capacity to care about the wellbeing of others, whether they
are close family or strangers, can appear to be unimportant in
today's competitive societies. However, in this volume Penny
Spikins argues that compassion lies at the heart of what makes us
human. She takes us on a journey from the earliest stone age
societies two million years ago to the lives of Neanderthals in Ice
Age Europe, using archaeological evidence to illustrate the central
role that emotional connections had in human evolution. Simple acts
of kindness left to us from millions of years ago provide evidence
for how social emotions and morality evolved, and how our capacity
to reach out beyond ourselves into the lives of others allowed us
to work together for a common good, and form the basis for human
success.
