The Science Of Good and Evil
Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, And Follow The Golden Rule
by Michael Shermer
Review this book!
In this absorbing book, the author explores the roots of morality and ethics. He concludes that the idea of morality itself must have derived from human institutions, as there is no true proof of the existence of God. The author also traces how, as human societies grew, the idea of treating others according to a moral "code" developed at the same time that organized religions came into existence.
