Description

Explore the deep connections between biology and social behavior in Evolution, Human Behaviour and Morality: The Legacy of Westermarck. This scholarly work from Routledge examines the re-emergence of Edward Westermarck's ideas within modern discussions on morality and altruism. As a founding father of anthropology, Westermarck's perspective as a moral relativist provides a unique lens for understanding how moral feelings may stem from biologically-evolved retributive emotions. This book investigates how current debates regarding the relationship between biology and morality compare to the historical arguments Westermarck participated in. By analyzing his original manuscripts and the criticisms he faced, the authors provide a clear look at his lasting impact on the social sciences. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of anthropology, the evolution of human ethics, and the scientific study of social behavior.
