Excellent article, but if I'm reading it correctly, the suggestion is that altruism
can be modified based on the physiological mechanism that causes it. Is
that what is being said here?
Am I just naive, or does it seem overly deterministic/mechanistic to argue
that physiology drives emotion, and not the other way around?
