The New Science of Morality - Marc Hauser P2

Evil, says Harvard psychologist and evolutionary biologist Marc D. Hauser, evolved, and emerges in daily life, as an accident of our brain's engineering. Unlike any other creature, present or past, only we combine processes of the mind that have independent and highly adaptive consequences for survival to create the ingredients of evil. When our desire for personal gain combines with our capacity for denial, we turn to excessive harms, aimed at eliminating, effacing, humiliating, and obliterating those who stand in the way.

@AA32m7io I think you are committing a misconduct yourself when you are saying "he lied about a study to prove how morality evolved" . his misconduct was not related to the moral study but something else . you are betraying your own charge when you are pulling this out of a thin air

He lied about a study to prove how morality evolved. How ironic!
