dc.description.abstractThis is a lecture given by Holmes Rolston at a conference on Biology and Morality at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 9, 2002.
dc.description.abstractThe Good Samaritan helping non-genetically related other does not fit well into a Darwinian framework. The Good Samaritan--some biologists claim--is constitutionally (=genetically) unable to act for the victim's sake. There must be a self-interested account; the Samaritan, deceived about his motives, is rewarded with reproductively profitable reputation. But such behavior, praised and imitated, jumps genetic lines and there is no differential survival advantage.
