Human beings are selfish, unsupportive, and driven only by their own interests: this has been argued by thinkers like Machiavelli, philosophers like Hobbes, psychoanalysts like Freud, scientists like Dawkins, and many historians and writers. But is this really the case? This book proposes rethinking history based on the evidence that human beings tend more to cooperate than to compete, to trust rather than to distrust. The author studies two hundred thousand years of history and reveals that altruism, not competitiveness, has been the evolutionary engine of humanity. To do this, he addresses examples such as the difference between what is told in the novel Lord of the Flies and what happened in the 1970s when a group of Australian children were shipwrecked and spent several months alone; or the supportive and resilient behavior of citizens during the Blitz in London in World War II; or the reality behind certain psychological and sociological experiments on human behavior. A fascinating proposal, full of anecdotes, very enjoyable to read, and which, far from being naive or deceptively simplistic, offers an intelligent and revolutionary interpretation of human history. A book that might help us change the world.
