Based on extensive experimental data comparing great apes and human children, Michael Tomasello reconstructs how early humans gradually became an ultra-cooperative and, eventually, a moral species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tomasello is convincing, above all, because he has run many of the relevant studies (on chimps, bonobos and children) himself.
