Prosocial Tribe
@melonhusk
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/will-you-rat-me-out/ "Mason placed rats in pens with two cages: in one was another rat; in the other was a pile of chocolate chips. The unhindered rats could easily have eaten the chocolate themselves. Instead most of the rodents opened both cages and shared the sweets. “In rat land, that is big,” Mason says. This is the first study to show altruistic behavior in rodents. “The bottom line,” Mason says, “is that helping an individual in distress is part of our biology.”
