Would You Lend a Hand? The Human Generosity Project

If somebody was in need, would you lend a hand? What if they were a good friend? A stranger? A family member? In The Human Generosity Project, we investigate the interrelationship between biological and cultural influences on human generosity using psychology experiments, fieldwork and computer models. We are trying to understand whether humans are generous by nature and whether there is a survival advantage to helping those in need. Come to our booth and test your survival skills, try out your ability to find cheaters and explore the complexities of lending a hand!
