Abstrakti

Humans are prosocial species and typically provide help to one another. The term help can be defined as active and voluntary acts, including the transfer of any resources (e.g., time, money, material) from one individual to another. In evolutionary studies, contact and emotional closeness are often used as proxies for help because they tend to strongly correlate with several forms of support. According to kin selection theory, with all other things being equal, the likelihood of providing help should correspond to the degree with which individuals are related to each other and individuals are predicted to provide more help to their closely related kin than their distantly related kin (Hamilton 1964).
