Evolution of Goodness: Empathy in Animals and Humans

Does morality come from God, as many religions believe, offering a foundation of theocracy, or could there be biological explanations that have more to do with evolution than Divine design? In this lecture, De Waal will discuss the sense of fairness in animals and will review expressions of empathy in animals.

Speaker: Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal, Emory University
