Four principal papers and a total of 43 peer commentaries on the
evolutionary origins of morality. To what extent is human morality
the outcome of a continuous development from motives, emotions and
social behaviour found in nonhuman animals? Jerome Kagan, Hans
Kummer, Peter Railton and others discuss the first principal paper
by primatologists Jessica Flack and Frans de Waal.
The second paper, by cultural anthropologist Christopher Boehm,
synthesizes social science and biological evidence to support his
theory of how our hominid ancestors became moral. In the third
paper philosopher Elliott Sober and evolutionary biologist David
Sloan Wilson argue that an evolutionary understanding of human
nature allows sacrifice for others and ultimate desires for
another's good.
Finally Brian Skyrms argues that game theory based on adaptive
dynamics must join the social scientist's use of rational choice
and classical game theory to explain cooperation.
