Not for the future but for today. Not according to some well-honed philosophical principles, but the need to create seamless progression while always retaining the ability to win at the highest level.

Chimps prove that human generosity is an ancient trait

Chimps prove that human generosity is an ancient trait:

Is selfless behavior in humans a unique evolutionary development?
