View story 3 2 Nice Chimps. http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20070711/Note3.as... Submitted by Amarildo 21 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours ago When an animal helps out another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could behave generously just because it feels good. This kind of behavior is called altruism.

Sign in Email: Password: It's always really nice when you get altruism in the classroom because then people help each other out without thinking, "What's in it for me?" I am surprised that chimpanzees are the only animals though - I suppose dogs can do things that help others out but not necessarily each other.
