Just as evolutionary biologists study why we are hungry (to motivate us to eat) or why sex is enjoyable (to motivate us to procreate), they are now searching for the very nature of humanity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Good and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamö, infamously known as the fierce people of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Good and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Shermer\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Believing Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhy People Believe Weird Things\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Good and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mind Of The Market\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhy Darwin Matters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScience Friction\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow We Believe\u003c\/i\u003e and other books on the evolution of human beliefs and behavior.
