Robert Boyd and Joan Silk

Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of Good Society is a groundbreaking new book that explores the evolutionary origins of human cooperation and morality. Drawing on the latest research in evolutionary biology, anthropology, and psychology, Blueprint argues that humans are naturally cooperative and that our morality is rooted in our evolutionary history.

Boyd and Silk begin by outlining the basic principles of evolutionary theory. They explain how natural selection favors traits that help individuals survive and reproduce. They then show how these same principles can explain the evolution of cooperation and morality.

Cooperation is essential for human survival. We rely on each other for food, shelter, and protection. Morality helps us to coordinate our behavior and to avoid conflict. It allows us to live together in large, complex societies.

Boyd and Silk argue that cooperation and morality evolved because they were beneficial to our ancestors. Individuals who were cooperative and moral were more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, these traits became more common in the population.

The authors also discuss the challenges to cooperation and morality. They show how selfishness and greed can undermine social harmony. They also discuss the role of culture and institutions in promoting cooperation and morality.

Blueprint is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that offers a new perspective on the origins of human society. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the past, present, and future of our species.
