An Evolutionary Theory of Right and Wrong
Certain to generate considerable argument and discussion, this hypothesis crosses from the biological to the philosophical and religious. If I were to ask this author, Dr. Hauser, if he believed in God, I wonder his answer. My guess he is an atheist.
I think humans have a survival instinct and also an inherent group code that in most cases acts to preserve the group, if possible. Some will 'die' for the group (Heroes). Others will not (Cowards). However, man is born with a sinful nature, otherwise society would not need a code of laws and enforcers to preserve order.
