Survival of the Virtuous: The Evolution of Moral Psychology

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.
