 The human sciences, going back to Darwin, have accumulated evidence that our most  hard-wired emotions are not greed and selfishness, but gratitude, awe and compassion.  In this conversation, Dacher Keltner, author of Born to Be Good, talks with Bill Resnick about why we are not fundamentally evil but quite the opposite.  You can catch a brief video of Keltner explaining his views here.
