The challenge brought by egoism is one of the unavoidable problems in the development of modern society, and it has been paid more and more attention by scholars. It represents the conflict be-tween human self-interest and moral ethics, and plays an important guiding role in the values and comprehensive development of today’s youth. When we discuss egoism and self-interest behavior, we can see that it is not only a moral norm, but also a psychological characteristic of human beings. How to change this self-interest psychology is worth exploring. This paper studies egoism from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. While reflecting on the current phenomenon of egoism, it also proposes some possible answers on how to change this egoistic psychology.
