Altruism is biological in origin but depends upon proper social and environmental conditions. The author posits a developmental model of Altruism modulated by genetic capacity and social constraints that is variable in its outcome in each human being. Yet, the human being, and perhaps other creatures, seem to transcend their biological and social constraints and act in a way that we can only describe as love toward another. We seem to be created to be Good Samaritans in our most fully developed form.
