The capacity for altruism emerges as early as 19 months of age. Psychology researcher Felix Warnocken performed a series of ordinary tasks in front of toddlers, young babies,. Such as hanging towels with clothespins or stacking books. He never asked for the help and didn't even say thank you - so as not to taint the research by training youngsters to expect praise if they helped.
