Primates And Philosophers How Morality Evolved
Book • 2009
In 'Primates and Philosophers,' Frans de Waal argues that human morality is not a thin veneer over a selfish nature but rather an evolutionary development from social instincts shared with other animals.
He critiques the 'Veneer Theory' and presents evidence from primate behavior to support his view of morality as a natural part of human evolution.
