Before it meant the group that even sometimes risked their life for the children of everyone in the tribe. I think you're discounting natural human altruism, which is well studied.
- mytailorisrich 1y agoThe tribe was bound by blood and reciprocal ties. This works at small scales, which is the context we evolved in. This is why in a village where everyone knows each other people help each other but in a holiday resort locals screw tourists.
- mihaic 1y agoReligions like Christianity are the natural development at global scale for that. We're losing that scaling in altruism now, but it doesn't have to be this way.
