Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, And Follow The Golden Rule.
A century and a half after Darwin first proposed an "evolutionary ethics", science has begun to tackle the roots of morality. 'The Science Of Good And Evil' explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles cab be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way Shermer explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans.
'The Science Of Good And Evil' is a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.
