人間の「利他の心」の存在はどのように説明できるだろう? 一筋縄ではいかないこの問いに、進化生物学と慈善の歴史という観点から挑みかかる。
「利他行動」は生物学の難問の一つだ。ヒトをはじめ、他個体を利する行動をとる動物は実際に存在する。だがしかし、寛大にも他者を思いやる個体の遺伝子は、狡猾な個体に出し抜かれて繁殖機会を奪われ、淘汰されてしまうのでは? 生物学者たちはこのことにおおいに悩み、利他行動を説明できる理論を求めて奮闘してきた。
ただし、人間の利他の心は、生物学だけで完全に説明することはできない。社会福祉制度や慈善活動などの方法で、血縁や地域を超えた「完全な赤の他人」にまで援助の手を差し伸べる動物は人間以外にいないのだ。ここには、何か特別な説明が必要になる。著者によれば、一万年の人類史における「七つの大いなる苦難」を、人類がどう解決してきたかが説明のカギだという。
本書では、利他行動に関するいくつかの理論の要点とその妥当性を検討したのち、歴史を通して力を発揮してきた人間特有の能力を鮮やかに提示する。人類史上もっとも寛大な「思いやりの黄金時代」を生きる私たち。ここへ至るまでの道程を照らし出す、本能と理性のビッグヒストリー。

Are items authentic?
Our sellers' agreement fully compels all stores to list only authentic items. We help you buy exclusive and authentic items from Japan, online!

Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all countries where Japan Post air freight services and international couriers currently operate. We don't use surface mail.

How long does shipping take?
Domestic shipments generally reach our warehouse in a few days, but may in certain specific cases take a week or more. International shipments can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to reach you after leaving our warehouse, depending on if you choose Standard or Express shipping.
Please contact our support team from the Questions section on your account page if you have any questions about the timing of your parcel.

How much is shipping?
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your parcel. We provide shipping costs for your order at checkout.

Will I be charged a customs (import) fee?
It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
