The paradox of virtue. Rangem R.

Richard Rangem, a primatologist and anthropologist, a specialist in the evolution of primates, a professor of Harvard University, in detail and accessiblely analyzes a scientific discussion on the most important issues: why people, representatives of a single biological species, are characteristic of amazing kindness and unimaginable cruelty; As these qualities, sometimes going far beyond the borders of common sense, appeared and entrenched during the evolutionary history of mankind; Where did we get moral feelings, the concepts of good and evil; And most importantly - whether we are doomed to our evolutionary paradox on the eternal threat of violence.
