A ground-breaking book that will do for morality what 'The Language Instinct' did for language.
Temptation and control are like two players in an arms race, displaying competition like that between predators and prey, parasites and hosts, and Americans and Russians during the Cold War.
In this book, brilliant Harvard academic Marc Hauser evaluates recent developments in evolutionary biology, cognitive science, developmental psychology, economics and anthropology to provide a new way of understanding the tension between temptation and control. Hauser shows us the roots of cheating, greed, promiscuity and violence in an enthralling and important new work of popular science.
