Did you know that Darwin, of the ‘survival of the fittest’ fame, ultimately wrote that the “higher agencies” of love and altruism were the guiding forces of evolution?
I find it fascinating that Darwin’s, The Descent of Man, which he wrote in his more mature years, where he places ‘nurturing, love, and altruism’ at the center of a higher evolutionary cycle, is virtually unknown. It seems that some sort of personal, genetic, or cultural conditioning has programmed us to see only what we want to see, and to ignore what doesn’t compute.
For those who do appreciate the ‘higher agencies’ approach, I’ll remind you that neuroscience is confirming that ‘nurturing, love, and altruism’ have a very beneficial influence on your brain function and on your total biology.
And Darwin, if we were open, would remind us that these qualities were fueling the continuing, higher evolution of humankind.
