Altruism

In advanced biology we have been talking about animal behavior, which to the biologist, is influenced by evolutionary processes - namely natural/sexual selection.  This weekend I was listening to Radio Lab on NPR and this story came on.  I found it very interesting, not only for some of the science tid-bits scattered about, but more so because of the (tragic) story of George Price.  I don't think I am too far off base to say that to some (large??) degree what he attempted to do was live a Christ-like life.  He failed as we all do.

Food for thought.
