In this engaging book leading primatologist & thinker Frans de Waal offers an illuminating new perspective on human nature. Bringing together his pioneering research on primate behaviour the latest findings in evolutionary biology & insights from moral philosophy de Waal explains that we don't need the spectres of God or the law in order to act morally. Instead our moral nature stems from our biology

Building on a wealth of evidence de Waal reveals that morality is not dictated to us by religion or social strictures but is the product of our biological nature.
