Primatologist Frans de Waal explains how we evolved from a
long line of animals that care for the weak and build
cooperation with reciprocal transactions. Drawing on both
Darwin and recent scientific advances, de Waal demonstrates a
strong continuity between human and animal behavior.
Includes responses by philosophers Peter Singer, Christine M.
Korsgaard, and Philip Kitcher, and science writer Robert
Wright. The book is published by Princeton University Press.
