| summary | A young child refuses to share toys with another child, while an older child shares perfectly equally. An adult in one culture values commitment to abstract and universal norms over family loyalty, while an adult in another culture values family loyalty more highly. In this presentation, I will provide a simple framework for explaining moral variation across ages and cultures. Specifically, I describe how two contributions from evolutionary biology (biological markets and life history theory) combine to provide a systematic account of many previously puzzling results, and to generate several new predictions for future research in moral psychology. |
