Quotes by Christopher Boehm  (?)

“When Netsilik Eskimos must either undergo a long migration or starve, the number of dogs they can feed limits what they can carry on their sleds and how fast they can travel. If there are old people too infirm to carry their own weight, they cannot be put on a sled at the expense of equipment that is necessary to a family's survival. Generous feelings based on nepotism or altruism must be set aside; these unfortunates are sadly allowed to freeze to death (Balikci 1970).”
Christopher Boehm, Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior

“an efficient evolutionary conscience is one that lets us express ourselves socially in ways that help us to both keep ourselves out of trouble and get ahead in life.”
Christopher Boehm, Moral Origins: The Evolution of Virtue, Altruism, and Shame

“All over the world, mobile hunter-gatherers use social control guided by moral rules to see to it that when a successful hunter kills a large mammal, his ego is held in check.”
Christopher Boehm, Moral Origins: The Evolution of Virtue, Altruism, and Shame
