MORAL ANIMALS

im looking to uncover timeless truths, truths about humans in nature, about a human nature which has nothing to do with the anecdotal moments when we ourselves happen to exist on the planet, but everything to do with the accumulating knowledge about animal behavior and the chemistry — the mechanics — of life, including human life, that are now known to us for the first time.  so now we can better understand who we actually are and how we actually should conduct ourselves as moral animals on the planet (with a note: we are not the only moral animal, we are just one of all animals, which are all in some ways moral animals).
