Their NIH Grants Are Back. But Nothing Is Back to Normal.
Researchers say that picking up where they left off is complicated β scientifically, financially, and logistically.
NEW: Their NIH grants are back, but nothing is back to normal.
In June, a judge ordered the restoration of 900+ terminated grants. So how's that going? Scientists say they're happy, but also it's been a bumpy roadβand they're afraid their funds will get cut again. www.chronicle.com/article/thei...

In essence, the compulsion to seek justice appears to be a deeply rooted adaptive trait that has historically enhanced social stability and cooperation, giving groups that embrace it an evolutionary advantage.

Cultural Evolution:
Over time, societies that institutionalized fairness, justice, and moral frameworks may have outcompeted those that didnβt, suggesting that social justice ideals are adaptive at the group level.
17.03.2025 16:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
Emotional Mechanisms:
Moral emotions such as empathy, guilt, and outrage likely evolved to reinforce prosocial behavior. These emotions compel individuals to correct injustices or defend the vulnerable, strengthening group unity.
17.03.2025 16:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
Punishment of Free Riders:
Studies in behavioral economics (like the Ultimatum Game) show that people are often willing to sacrifice personal gain to punish perceived unfairness. This behavior may have evolved to deter freeloading and maintain group integrity.
17.03.2025 16:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
Altruism and Reciprocal Behavior:
Evolutionary theories like kin selection and reciprocal altruism suggest that behaviors promoting fairness helped individuals indirectly pass on their genes by supporting their social network.

Cooperation as a Survival Mechanism:
Human ancestors who formed cooperative groups had higher survival rates. Those who were sensitive to inequality or exploitation would have been better at maintaining group harmony and ensuring resources were distributed fairly, fostering stronger social bonds.

Ask ChatGPT of the day: Is there evidence that the strong compulsion to fight for social justice is an evolutionary adaptation that has made social groups stronger and more able to survive over long time frames?
