The Phylogenesis of Human Personality: Identifying the Precursors of Cooperation, Altruism, and Well-Being

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Origins of Altruism and Cooperation

Part of the book series: Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects ((DIPR,volume 36))

Abstract

Human beings have a natural potential for love and altruism that is expressed when they are functioning in a healthy way. Prosocial behavior is a prominent aspect of health and happiness in human beings, which is characteristic of integrated states of physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being (Cloninger and Zohar, 2010). From a neuropsychiatric perspective, selfish and uncooperative behaviors are signs of mental dysfunction because they are strongly associated with life dissatisfaction and ill health (Cloninger, 2004). From an evolutionary perspective, antisocial behavior in human beings is the unregulated expression of primitive impulses because it is a consequence of the failure of the human capacity for apperception of unity (Cloninger, 2009).
