Also, history books and discussion is more about grand state actors and conquests, not the everyday kindness and selflessness. It's usually the norm, so not noteworthy to history.
But you wouldn't learn that from history books.
But they don't tell you much about human success where countries don't go to war and genocides don't happen. So you can't compare effectively.
