First and foremost, evidence provided throughout the book makes it clear that new evolutionary theories are needed to explain the nature and extent of cooperation in the primate lineage, most prominently among human beings. this book should be of particular interest to anyone seeking to formulate new evolutionary models. (Christopher X. Jon Jensen, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 88 (3), September, 2013) The book does three things that many of the other books on this subject dont do: it gives some background about altruism and cooperation in specific non-human primate species, it reviews the neuroscience behind these behaviors, and it shows the practical applications of altruism and cooperation in such things as education and healthcare. it is a convenient source for a researcher or someone who is reviewing the literature. It would be a useful contribution to a university library. (Jay R. Feierman, ESSSAT-News, Vol. 22 (2), June, 2012)
