| English abstract | The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent of sex differences in altruistic behaviors from an evolutionary perspective, by looking at the latest research on neuroetic and sex differential neuroanatomy concerning altruism and emphaty. We assume that women have an adaptive advantage for altruistic behavior, wich has biological basis, genetic and hormonal, that has also been reinforced phylogenetically, thoughout human evolution, from sex roles division. These differences in behavior can be seen when in men and women different brain areas are activated in relation to empathy and altruism |
