| I read in an article the other day that altruistic behaviiour can be observed in the human being as early as 18 months old, childrens have the tendency to help others, and that surly doesn't indicate their need for approval or ego-boosters of some sort. It has also been reported that altruism stems from an area in the brain called the posterior superior temporal sulcus. So I believe that Altruistic behaviour is innate. |
