How can we best teach people the skills that help them to get their needs met? https://youtu.be/6CUmpk2IYhg?si=MQLUl4IQJ0WFuFsQ
"Apparently selfless behavior may seem odd from an evolutionary perspective. But scientists believe it paved the way to the sort of large-scale cooperation that has helped Homo sapiens outlast other early humans, like Homo erectus. And this sort of cooperation has allowed our species to share new ideas, create vast nations and explore other planets." https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/03/20/978868116/some-generous-apes-may-help-explain-the-evolution-of-human-kindness

'Alpha chimpanzees are impressive leaders, but the majority are also generous and kind to others because they know respect' https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=inx2dMobzYs&pp=ygUdRnJhbnMgZGUgd2FhbCBjaGltcCBhbHBoYW1hbGU%3D
Kids and adults can enjoy this game. Can be a good way to learn how in some cases playing it safe is a losing strategy compared to higher returns + risks.
Played virus 2 Evolution with an 8, 7, and 4 year old today. Kids like this game. Educationally speaking, I guess it teaches some rudimentary biology. Not much arithmetics practice involved. You could study it statistically but that's too advanced for most kids/people playing a game.
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.”
They say humor is the best medicine.

The Love Hormone
"Witnessing prosocial acts of kindness produces oxytocin, occasionally referred to as the ‘love hormone’ which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving our overall heart-health. Oxytocin also increases our self-esteem and optimism, which is extra helpful when we’re anxious or shy in a social situation." -Natalie Angier, The New York Times

So, while prosocial behavior may often go unnoticed, it can be argued that it is the cornerstone of a just and decent society."
