David Sloan Wilson examines the evolutionary origins of altruism, challenging the assumption that self-interest is the sole driver of human behavior. By synthesizing multilevel selection theory with cultural and biological perspectives, the author argues that prosocial traits are essential components of human development and societal welfare.
