Hope for Humans to Regain Ability to Cooperate

A gene that apparently sets human evolution back about a million years holds out hope that humans can be devolved to the point where they regain the ability to cooperate strategically for the good of all concerned, which we evidently lost somewhere in the mists of time. Scientist are hopeful that the genes we evolved that cause modern humans to refuse to cooperate, despite the deleterious results to all concerned, can be mapped on the human genome and chemically neutralized, thus returning us to the cooperation level of chimpanzees.
