A growing body of evidence from the sciences suggests that our
moral beliefs have an evolutionary basis. To explain how human
morality evolved, some philosophers have called for the study of
morality to be naturalized, i.e., to explain it in terms of natural
causes by looking at its historical and biological origins. The
present literature has focused on the link between evolution and
moral realism: if our moral beliefs enhance fitness, does this mean
they track moral truths? In spite of the growing empirical
evidence, these discussions tend to remain high-level: the mere
fact that morality has evolved is often deemed enough to decide
questions in normative and meta-ethics. This volume starts from the
assumption that the details about the evolution of morality do make
a difference, and asks how. It presents original essays by authors
from various disciplines, including philosophy, anthropology,
developmental psychology, and primatology, who write in
conversation with neuroscience, sociology, and cognitive
psychology.
