Ridley, m. The Origins of Virtue

What makes us human? What made us become the way we are? One way to answer these questions is to identify the traits that all humans share, traits that are universal features of all human societies.

The contributors to this book pursue both approaches, in an effort to understand how evolution has shaped modern human behavior and societies.
