Wasp-researchers in the Americas ( don’t remember if central or south, sorry ) discovered that altruism is generalized mothering.
IF there isn’t much need for mothering in this nest, THEN go provide mothering in other nests, even-though wasps are … aggressively competitive critters according to them.
This isn’t the version I’d read before, but it’s the same research:
That is 1 evidence-based-science identifying altruism’s root.
AwakeSoulism/Buddhism has been insisting that altruism is generalized mothering for 25 consecutive centuries, and the phrase “all our kind mothers” meaning all other Souls/Continuums who’re lavishing lessons on us, is the current rendition of that ( though Buddhism’s people often forget to differentiate between the local person/mind vs the eternal Continuum that currently is trapped in an individual-life/incarnation )
In the Abrahamic religions, they have a story in Genesis, where women “ate of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good & Evil”, which means Morality, and having eaten Morality, they shared it with men.
Mothering the root of it, again.
Of course, religious-men twisted the text to mean that women were “guilty” of “sin” and used that to justify mysogyny for many many millenia, but what should one expect of male-supremacism, when its too-fragile ego feels threatened?
History, Western, Eastern, doesn’t suggest that we should expect honest integrity of it, obviously.
( the literally millions of women who were forced to die in India due to that male-supremacism, iirc 1 census pegged it at 30,000,000-ish missing women, and that number wouldn’t have gone down recently…
the selective-abortion-of-female-foetuses/babies, in order to protect male-supremacism, including the Chinese woman who died while aborting her 4th or 6th or something daughter, because her husband wanted a son to be their only or 1stborn child…
it isn’t just China that selectively exterminates girl-lives, the West shows the same thing, & as a Jewess pointed-out, nobody in Jewish culture celebrates the birth of a girl: only boys.
The Catholic inquisition’s holocausting of women…
Hatred of female-lives & female-validity seems to be a deep current throughout humankind’s diverse cultures, for millenia. )
3 different views into ancient psychology, and all-3 identify mothering as being the root of altruism…
Having come from an Abrahamic school background, I’m curious about the sources for #3. It is true that the meaning of the story has been twisted to justify misogyny, and that was how it was taught to us back in school.
“access through your institutions”…
So, I’m blocked from reading it.

No matter.

That seems a trend…
