Moral Animals and Our Place in the Universe

Description

We think of morality as being uniquely human. Yet some evolutionary biologists claim that animals exhibit moral behavior. Is morality an evolved behavior and not especially human after all? If so, is good and bad the outcome of evolution, or is morality written into the universe from the outset? The Panel Oxford Evolutionary Psychologist Oliver Scott Curry, naturalist and broadcaster Colin Tudge and Warwick Politics and Philosophy professor Tom Sorrell debate the evolution of morality. Angela Saini hosts.
