Jakarta, biological and economic theory called human nature is selfish selfish alias. So do not be surprised if people were stingy. But who would have thought in a recent study, is not stingy nature of the original nature of man because man is basically very generous.
It is said that people always give the hope would be rewarded in kind. But the discovery by scientists from UC Santa Barbara prove anything without consequences and without any pressure, generous is human nature.
Scientists conducted a series of computer simulations designed to test whether the true evolution that makes human nature appear generous, or because the urgency of choice and hope that the attitude of generosity was rewarded in the future.
Research shows a surprising result that the charity or helping others without any benefit in the future turned out to arise naturally as a result of the evolutionary process of human cooperation.
In a generous, donors pay a benefit for others. Although from the perspective of economists, to pay without any compensation or profit prospects are considered irrational and maladaptive viewed (not capable of adapting themselves) by biologists.
If the words of economists and biologists it is true, then it is certainly generous behavior occurs by a long evolution. Because of economic theory and biology, human nature is basically selfish, so generosity 'excessive' is simply a result of social pressures or adjustments to the culture. But recent research broke it because after the evolution of human nature was essentially generous.
"While previous studies measured the preferences of the person with care, they found that people all over the world once more generous. Then the theory of economic and biological ordered them to do things according to their estimates," said Max M. Krasnow, a postdoctoral scholar at the UCSB Center for Evolutionary Psychology pshycologytoday quoted as saying on Wednesday (07/27/2011).
"But our simulations explain that the reason people are more generous than those predicted by economic theory and biology is due to the uncertainty inherent in social life," said Andrew Delton, a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Evolutionary Psychology.
This is because human beings never know for sure whether the interaction is done by someone else now this will only happen one time only or continue indefinitely. The need to do something together to make human beings naturally become more generous.
This simulation shows that the natural selection of human support to treat others as if the relationship will continue, even when he believes that these interactions occur only once. "Although it is impossible to know with complete certainty the truth, our simulations are designed using a 'gold standard' rational reasoning," said Krasnow.
