Teaching the Evolution of Morality: Status and Resources
Evolution 2 (4):629-635 (2009)
| Abstract | Recent studies now provide a relatively robust explanation of how moral behavior evolved, perhaps not just in humans. An analysis of current biology textbooks shows that they fail to address this critical topic fully. Here, I survey resources—books, images, and videos—that can guide educators in meeting the challenge of teaching the biology of morality. | |||||||||
