Why do young men go to the front to save their country from war? The traits described above are forms of altruism. Individuals sacrifice their own fitness to protect that of others.

  • Short Term Goals Theory Of Evolution
    1,604 words
    According to Darwin, the theory of natural selection would suggest that every individual seeks only to further their own goals at the expense of all others, as only those individual organisms that win the battle for resources get the chance to reproduce and pass on their genes, creating a new generation of individuals who are good at serving their own interests. Conversely, those who are good at serving the interests of others will not be rewarded, but will instead become extinct as those whom t...

  • Worker Bees Dominant Male
    1,187 words
    Altruism is thought of as being behaviour exhibited by one individual to benefit another, with no direct gain but at some cost for that first individual. Apparent altruism is the idea that although behaviour may seem to be fully altruistic (i. e. non-selfish) behaviour there is actually a gain for that individual. Genetically this gain tends to refer to the fitness of the individual i. e. their reproductive success. It was Darwin who first suggested the problematic paradox introduced by some alt...

    The line between give and take I think there are a few reasons for the conflict between selflessness and self-interest. The best real world illustration of this conflict is seen in the formation of a firm. The entrepreneur has the idea that in most cases requires help in its execution. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but without the cooperation of many people nobody except a few hundred would have one. In cooperating the entrepreneur must be willing to compensate the people who are involv...

  • Alpha Male Important Aspect

    Why do we study primate behavior? The answer is simple: To learn more about ourselves, and how we, as humans, might have been in our evolutionary past. By studying other primates, we can learn many things about ourselves, and our more anomalistic behaviors. We can learn and develop a series of derived traits or our ancestral traits. Through archaeology we can interpret our ancestor s social patterns and trace the development of our own human culture. Primates are like a mirror into our past, und...
