Excerpt from On Human Science, Good and Evil, and Its Works: And on Divine Revelation and Its Works and Sciences The present treatise was commenced in order to furnish to the public mind the Author's testimony and convictions concerning what is called Vivisection. The subject has engaged his attention since his youth, and one firm opinion, of its uselessness, and its evils, has held him since his first perceptions of physiological truth. The determination of his heart and intellect against it has grown with his growth and strengthened with his strength. He has written upon it from time to time. And now, when a great public opinion is rising by his side, he has been compelled to put forth all his strength as one combatant in the cause of common humanity, and of common science. There are many workers in the cause in all civilized countries, and he desires to be in their ranks so far as they allow. But he has perceived that the policy of the cause, and its conduct, are not always staked upon the safest issues, or led from principles that can conquer.

From bestselling author Michael Shermer, an investigation of the evolution of morality that is "a paragon of popularized science and philosophy" The Sun (Baltimore) A century and a half after Darwin first proposed an "evolutionary ethics," science has begun to tackle the roots of morality. Just as evolutionary biologists study why we are hungry (to motivate us to eat) or why sex is enjoyable (to motivate us to procreate), they are now searching for the very nature of humanity. In The Science of Good and Evil, science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamö, infamously known as the "fierce people" of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. The Science of Good and Evil is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.
