Humans are probably more like this than not. But it is so common, that we tend to only pay attention to those that aren't.

Anthropologists will point out that there have been fossil remains found of our ancestors which show people that have recovered from obviously serious injuries. Injuries so serious that someone must have fed and cared for them while they healed. It is probably how we survived and thrived.

And I will say, I often experience people stopping to attempt to help me when I appeared to need some help. I have numerous stories of acts of kindness by strangers. Don't let the bastards fool you. THEY are in the minority.
