Oliver Curry

“How Darwin Demystified Morality”.
What makes humans moral without religion?

Oliver Curry is a post-doctoral researcher in the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Oxford. In his publications on morality and evolution, he has argued that 'adaptations for cooperation' created ‘moral instincts’ such as loyalty, trust, guilt - and retribution.
