An analysis of genetic variants (SNPs, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) related to behaviors that may have favored the social and biological adaptation of our species in the last ~40,000 years has been carried out. These genetic polymorphisms are related to behaviors regulated by the HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis and have been analysed in a sample of human genomes collected from different paleogenomic databases. The obtained results show the complexity of the "prosociability" phenoty
