Explore the deep roots of human morality in Chapter Three of A Most Interesting Problem with evolutionary psychologist Dr. Brian Hare.
Journey back to Darwin’s original insights about sympathy, social instincts, and cooperation, and discover how modern research reveals these moral foundations extend far beyond humans. From chimpanzees helping one another to capuchin monkeys protesting unfair treats, learn how empathy, fairness, and self-control evolved to shape our uniquely social species.
This episode uncovers the evolutionary pathways—kin selection, reciprocal altruism, and cultural group dynamics—that fostered moral behaviour long before complex societies existed. Perfect for anyone curious about the biological and cultural origins of morality, this episode reveals how our sense of right and wrong is built on ancient emotional foundations shared with our closest animal relatives.#AMostInterestingProblem
