The radical aristocrat who put kindness on a scientific footing — Lydia Syson

Summary:
The story of Russian Prince Peter Kropotkin, evolutionary biologist and revolutionary anarcho-socialist.Kropotkin was a forerunner of the theory of group selection based on group fitness as a necessary addition to individual selection based on individual selection in natural selection as the driver of biological evolution. A basis of this theory is synergy, that is, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, so groups that are capable of cooperating and organizing are more successful in meeting environmental challenges and seizing opportunities than individuals alone or less coordinated groups. Coordination has an evolutionary premium.PyscheThe radical aristocrat who put kindness on a scientific footingLydia Syson
