Based on experiments at Yale University using games with babies, some studies concluded that kindness is inherent to human beings.[12] There are similar studies about the root of empathy in infancy[13] – motor mirroring developing in the early months of life,[14] to lead (optimally) to the easy concern shown by children for their peers in distress.[15] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1292.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1292.txt
