a kind (of) humanity :

''We feel the pain of others and react viscerally when others are sad or injured. We even have a set of 'mirror neurons' that enable us to feel things from the point of view of others. All of this gives us a remarkable capacity to cooperate even with strangers, even when there is a little chance of reward or reciprocity, and to punish non-cooperators, even when imposing punishment on others is costly or puts us at risk ourselves. But we also cheat, bluff, deceive, break our word and kill members of an out-group. We learn through imitation."
