Exploring the evolution of human behavior, the book posits that vice may stem from remnants of our animalistic past, rather than being an inherent evil. It suggests that virtue emerges through collective efforts to overcome these primal instincts. The connection between virtue and the prioritization of social welfare over selfish desires is emphasized, contrasting human tendencies with the largely self-serving nature of lower animals, which lack concern for their species' future. This perspective invites a deeper understanding of morality's development within humanity.
