Good Natured The Origins of Right and Wrong in Humans and Other Animals

"Far from being half ape, half angel, torn between a moral sense that strives upward and an eons-old bestial viciousness that drags us down, [Mr. De Waal] portrays us as inheritors for a basically moral view of life that has evolved naturally over countless millenniums....Mr. De Waal wisely avoids drawing social or political conclusions from his work. However, politicians, social scientists, and moral philosophers alike will ignore his insights at their peril. Anyone who cares about humans or their future will profit form this excellent book, which sheds at least as much light on our own lives as it does on those of other creatures."De Waal, Frans B. M. is the author of 'Good Natured The Origins of Right and Wrong in Humans and Other Animals', published 1997 under ISBN 9780674356610 and ISBN 0674356616.
