"Traditional models of economic decision-making assume that people are self-interested rational maximizers. Empirical research has demonstrated, however, that people will take into account the interest of others and are sensitive to norms of cooperation and fairness.

These results support the hypothesis that other-regarding preferences and aversion to inequitable outcomes, which play key roles in human social organization, distinguish us from our closest living relatives." {Jensen, Call, and To masello 2007, 107; see also Jensen et al. 2006)
So much, then, for the dismal economic science—whose future is not bright either, inasmuch as chimpanzees are disappearing.”
