| The secret to longer life could be selflessness, scientists say Posted by William Dwyer on 12/03, 8:25am | ||
| Ayn Rand wrote, "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject." But researcher at the University of California-Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are hard-wired to be selfish. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was misinterpreted by his male popularizers, the researchers say. Rather than "every man for himself," Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because they are altruistic. In fact, altruistic caregivers were less likely to die in a seven-year period than their peers. | ||
