The Bonobo and the Atheist - by Frans de Waal (Paperback)

The Bonobo and the Atheist is a groundbreaking book that explores the biological roots of human morality through the lens of primate behavior.

Drawing on decades of research, esteemed primatologist Frans de Waal offers fresh evidence for the seeds of ethical behavior in primate societies, challenging the notion that religion is necessary for moral imperatives.

Interweaving vivid tales from the animal kingdom with thoughtful philosophical analysis, de Waal seeks a bottom-up explanation of morality that emphasizes our connection with animals.

This book provides an inclusive new perspective on human nature and our struggle to find purpose in our lives, making it a must-read for anyone interested in evolutionary biology and moral philosophy.
