Survival of the Virtuous

The Evolution of Moral Psychology

Beschreibung

This book examines how virtuous behaviors evolved in humans and other species by looking at the adaptive functions moral traits served in early human environments and how they are influenced by social learning, culture, and strategic social interactions in the modern world. This book illuminates how "new brain" mechanisms work in conjunction with "old brain" mechanisms as we make moral choices.
