Evolutionary psychologists suggest that humans experienced evolutionary benefits from brain developments that included aversion to loss and risk and from instincts for cooperation that helped strengthen communities.

Evolutionary theory informs our understanding of some frankly inexcusable social behavior and renders it perfectly normal.

Nature is based on harmony. So it says if we want to survive and become more like nature, then we actually have to understand that it's cooperation versus competition.

Nature favors those organisms which leave the environment in better shape for their progeny to survive.

As a social primate species, we modulate our morals with signals from family, friends and social groups with whom we identify because in our evolutionary past, those attributes helped individuals to survive and reproduce.

Animals have genes for altruism, and those genes have been selected in the evolution of many creatures because of the advantage they confer for the continuing survival of the species.

When a trait is universal, evolutionary biologists look for a genetic explanation and wonder how that gene or genes might enhance survival or reproductive success.

The information that is passed from person to person and from generation to generation is the primary factor that gives humans a competitive advantage over other animals.

In fact, the socialization gives us the tools to fill our evolutionary roles. They are our building blocks.

Humans have a lot of pro-social tendencies.
