‘Altruistic’ Brain Region Found
Scientists say they have found the part of the brain that predicts whether a person will be selfish or an altruist. Altruism – the tendency to help others without obvious benefit to oneself – appears to be linked to an area called the posterior superior temporal sulcus. Using brain scans, the US investigators found this region related to a person’s real-life unselfish behaviour.

Although understanding the function of this brain region may not necessarily identify what drives people like Mother Theresa, it may give clues to the origins of important social behaviours like altruism.

When I was small I used to read science books which explained all our actions are the result of genes and brain cells. I wondered what would happen if the common ignorant people came to believe this.

We are seeing it happen now, for those who have eyes to see.
