Publisher Description: Winner of the Eleanor Maccoby Book Award in Developmental Psychology, American Psychological Association --Michael Bond, New Scientist "Most evolutionary theories picture humans as amoral 'monads' motivated by self-interest. Tomasello presents an innovative and well-researched, hypothesized natural history of two key evolutionary steps leading to full-blown morality." --S. A. Mason, Choice |
