“People are prosocial creatures. We typically form enduring bonds with others. We find spending time with our family and friends rewarding, we rejoice in their good fortune, we want to help them and often go to a substantial degree of bother for others. This applies particularly in relation to people whom we consider to be part of our ‘in group’, but also often in relation to strangers.”

“While humans have the propensity to develop a suite of prosocial behaviors, they are also capable of developing antisocial behavior, engaging in substance abuse, experiencing depression, and bearing children at an early age...Young people who develop aggressive behavior tendencies are likely to develop problems with tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; to fail academically; to have children at an early age;
and to raise children likely to have the same problems.”
