Description
A Natural History of Human Morality by Michael Tomasello offers a detailed account of the evolution of human moral psychology. Through extensive experimental data comparing great apes and human children, Tomasello reconstructs how early humans gradually became an ultra-cooperative species. The book presents an innovative hypothesis on two key evolutionary steps leading to full-blown morality. Tomasello's research highlights the powerful influence of broad cultural groups on modern humans, providing a compelling explanation for the emergence of complex moral systems.
