Listen "3: Are we altruistic?"

Episode Synopsis

Do we care more about other people or about ourselves? Why do we behave in generous ways? Are humans the only species to give to others without any hope of a reward? The third episode of Intermediate English looks at these issues, searching for answers with the help of neuroscience, evolutionary theory and global economics.https://www.cafonline.org/docs/default-source/about-us-publications/caf_wgi_10th_edition_report_2712a_web_101019.pdfhttps://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/08/human-altruism-traces-back-origins-humanity#https://bigthink.com/mind-brain/two-ways-doing-good-affects-moodhttps://www.wired.com/2007/07/the-early-scien/Cover artwork by MILY Web DesignMusic:The SourceAdamaFor the PeopleDragon RiderSeyewailoby Dogon LightsUsed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licenseEnclosedNature ShuffleIt’s Roxyby KetsaUsed with a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works licenseOther Side Blues by Brandon RossUsed with a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works license
