Community Concern

Frans Duvall distinguishes between one-on-one morality and community concern. One-on-one morality involves maintaining good relationships and reciprocity, seen in primates and other animals. Community concern extends to societal fairness and rules, a trait more developed in humans. Examples in chimpanzees show early signs of community concern, such as alpha males breaking up fights impartially. Humans exhibit community concern by acting for the neighborhood's well-being, even when not directly affected, though self-interest often plays a role.
