      The exploration of goodness in both animals and humans challenges the notion of survival of the fittest, a dilemma that troubled Charles Darwin during the development of his theory of evolution. His observations led to concerns that altruistic behavior could undermine his ideas. This inquiry has sparked a longstanding debate among scientists, philosophers, and religious thinkers about the origins of kindness, intertwining with various fields and remaining a significant question in evolutionary biology.

      The Imitation Factor
    • Wie entsteht der Sinn für den anderen in der menschlichen Entwicklungsgeschichte? Wie kommt die uneigennützige Hilfe für den anderen in die Welt? Das Problem quälte schon Charles Darwin, den Urvater aller Evolutionstheorie: In der natürlichen Auslese muss jeder Altruismus zum Störfaktor werden im rücksichtslosen Überlebenskampf der Arten. Das Gute bei Mensch und Tier, diese Achillesverse in Darwins revolutionärer Theorie, hat seitdem die Wissenschaften, aber auch Politik, Philosophie und Religion beunruhigt. Dieses Buch beschreibt die Meilensteine eines der aufregendsten Kapitel unserer Wissenschaftsgeschichte und wird dabei selbst zu einem Meilenstein für eine verständliche Beschreibung dieser Theorien, seiner Debatten und Kämpfe.
