The bonobo and the atheist
Book • 2013
In 'The Bonobo and the Atheist', Frans de Waal argues that human morality is not imposed from above but rather comes from within, rooted in evolutionary biology.
He explores the social behaviors of primates, particularly bonobos and chimpanzees, to demonstrate that empathy, cooperation, and fairness are fundamental to our moral instincts, predating religious influences.
De Waal advocates for a humanist perspective on morality, emphasizing our shared evolutionary heritage and capacity for empathy and cooperation.
