ISBN : 9780099575061

Every act of human behaviour has multiple layers of causation, spiralling back seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, even centuries, right back to the dawn of time and the origins of our species. In the epic sweep of history, how does our biology affect the arc of war and peace, justice and persecution ? How have our brains evolved alongside our cultures ? This is the exhilarating story of human morality and the science underpinning the biggest question of all : what makes us human ?
