It did explain pretty well the origin of ethics and morality in terms of group evolution. It's a new perspective to view how our society came into being, in which the selection pressure was not particularly on each individual, but on a group/deme/species...etc. Yet, except from that, i was not much impressed.
这本书似乎想谈谈伦理道德的进化论起源这个很专业的话题，但看了后发现是出于业余爱好者之手。标题是 "science"，但真的与science 无关，因为它没有像“Origins of Virtues”和“Evolutionary Origion of Morality”等书给出了一个全面、系统的理论架构，而只是东拼西凑很多相关的材料，比较牵强。
不过，作为给第一次接触这个领域的读者，本书倒是可以帮助入门。
