ISBN10: 1847920624, ISBN13: 9781847920621, [publisher: Vintage Publishing, United Kingdom, London] Softcover Survival of the fittest or survival of the nicest? Since the dawn of time, human beings have contemplated the mysteries of altruism - but it was Darwin who posed the question most starkly. From the selfless ant to the stinging bee to the man laying down his life for a stranger, evolution has yielded a goodness that in theory should never exist. The Price of Altruism follows the incredible story of the eccentric American genius, George Price, as he strives to answer evolution's greatest riddle. From the heights of the Manhattan Project to the inspired equation that explains altruism, to the depths of homelessness and despair in London, his life and death embody the paradoxes of Darwin's enigma. Price's personal and professional journey are intricately woven into the sweeping arc of modern politics and science. From the Beagle in the southern seas to the court of the Russian Tsar to the chambers of London's Royal Society; from Brazilian jungles to Jamaican mountains; from Marxist manifestos to Nazi heresies and from First World War trenches to Vietnam demonstrations. The scientific quest to fathom the mysteries of altruism encompasses sneaky amoebas and Russian anarchists, sentry gazelles and tyrannical despots, brain imaging, Game Theory, the Bomb and the Holy Bible. Featuring some of the most brilliant minds of the modern age, it is the rive ...

The moving tale of one man's quest to crack the mystery of altruism, an evolutionary enigma that has haunted scientists since Darwin. Survival of the fittest or survival of the nicest? Since the dawn of time man has contemplated the mystery of altruism, but it was Darwin who posed the question most starkly. From the selfless ant to the stinging bee to the man laying down his life for a stranger, evolution has yielded a goodness that in theory should never be. Set against the sweeping tale of 150 years of scientific attempts to explain kindness, The Price of Altruism tells for the first time the moving story of the eccentric American genius George Price (1922-1975), as he strives to answer evolution's greatest riddle. An original and penetrating picture of twentieth century thought, it is also a deeply personal journey. From the heights of the Manhattan Project to the inspired equation that explains altruism to the depths of homelessness and despair, Price's life embodies the paradoxes of Darwin's enigma. His tragic suicide in a squatter's flat, among the vagabonds to whom he gave all his possessions, provides the ultimate contemplation on the possibility of genuine benevolence. 24 Illustrations [URALLA, NSW, Australia] [Publication Year: 2010] ...
