La edad de la empatía

Is the compassion that moves us to care about others instinctive? Or, as is often claimed, have we come into the world only to fight for our own interests and our individual survival? In The Age of Empathy, Frans de Waal explains the long evolutionary history behind this feeling and clarifies, with numerous examples taken from the animal world, that being in tune with others, coordinating activities and caring for those in need they are by no means exclusive to the human species.
