Experiments in Altruism

Conversation Leader Liz Copeland from Albuquerque, New Mexico shares this video, "Experiments in altruism in children and chimps"  featuring the work of Felix Warneken and others.


Liz writes:  "Dr. Eisler mentions Felix Warneken's work in Real Wealth on Pg 288 --and this you tube video is from the research she cites.  Warnken has now left the Max Planck Institute Dept of Evolutionary Anthropology  and is currently at Harvard Dept of Psychology. He and colleagues from Max Planck have released a report on experimental results which demonstrate young children sharing equally when they have cooperatively accomplished something.  Chimps do not show this same behavior."  




Thanks for sharing, Liz!
