Read more about this interview here: https://kindredmedia.org/2024/05/wikipedias-first-ever-definition-of-stay-at-home-mother-presents-economic-cultural-reality-of-caregiving/ Last year, Family and Home Network (FAHN) discovered the Wikipedia page for “Stay-at-Home mother” redirected readers to the pejorative term “Housewife.” Supported by forty years of advocacy for parents who wish to stay home with their babies and children, FAHN crafted the first ever Wikipedia entry for Stay-at-Home mother. The heavily cited entry exposes the culturally-engineered myth that pits working mothers and stay-at-home mothers against each other by sharing the economic reality that most women, 57%, do not have a choice to work or stay home but instead float between home and work out of necessity. Furthermore, labor statistics on Stay-at-Home Mothers are collected in such a way the dynamic and large population of SAHMs have been represented as small and ineffective, when the opposite is true. The Stay-at-Home Mother entry launched on Wikipedia on May 7, 2024. Find out more about how we were never meant to raise children alone, in isolation, and without robust community support in this science-based post by Darcia Narvaez, PhD “Stay-at-home mothers are often ignored or stereotyped in cultural and political conversations. Although stay-at-home parents do essential work, they're not considered part of the workforce and their work is not counted in the GDP,” says Willow Duttge Tepper, member of the FAHN Board of Directors and lead of the project. “Though homemaking skills should never be denigrated, at-home mothers must not be misidentified as housewives,” says Catherine Myers, Executive Director of FAHN. “Most at-home mothers are focused on their children's needs and on their own desire to spend time together with their children. Family and Home Network is happy to set the record straight.” FAHN has four decades of experience listening to and speaking up to dispel misconceptions about at-home mothers, and the team brought that knowledge to the Wikipedia entry. It's important because all families must be included in family policy, and many families with an at-home parent are economically vulnerable. Unfortunately most U.S. family policy is crafted through the lens of “working families,” leaving out at-home mothers and at-home fathers, who are forgoing paid employment in order to care for their children by choice or by circumstance. FAHN found that stay-at-home fathers have their own Wikipedia page, and now stay-at-home mothers have one too. “Care has value, whether it's done by child care providers or by parents themselves,” says Myers. “At-home mothers, at-home fathers, and other unpaid caregivers must be recognized and their care counted and supported with equitable, inclusive family policies.” Because Wikipedia is a publicly accessed site, the new entry has already seen changes, including elimination of some of the paragraphs that expand on the misrepresented labor statistics around SAHMs. Kindred has posted FAHN's original definition of the term, complete with citations, in our New Story Glossary here. Kindred is also proud to have Darcia Narvaez's award-winning book, Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality, listed as the first citation on the SAHM Wiki page. You can learn more about this book, and read its introduction and first chapter, in its 10th anniversary celebration interview with Darcia here.

First published in 2014, the book received the 2015 William James Book Award from Division I of the American Psychological Association as well as the Moral Development and Education SIG at the American Educational Research Association. In 2017, the book was chosen from among more than 360 total entries from 170 universities and 30 countries for the Vatican's Expanded Reason Award. Since 2019, Darcia and Lisa have worked to bring this book's award-winning research and science to the public through the Evolved Nest Initiative and its many projects, including a trilogy of short films funded by the Vatican award monies. Kindred Magazine is a sister-initiative of the Evolved Nest Initiative. Both are collaborative, educational initiatives of the award-winning, American nonprofit, Kindred World. In this celebratory podcast of Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality's 10th anniversary, Lisa and Darcia discuss the book's challenges coming into publication, its unique transdisciplinary approach, and the ongoing work through the Evolved Nest Initiative and Kindred to unpack its far-reaching potential for our human family and planet's return to our evolutionary pathway to wellbeing, our Evolved Nest.

Darcia Narvaez is a professor of psychology whose work explores the neurobiology of moral development, evolved parenting practices, and small-band hunter-gatherer societies. In 2020, she was identified as one of the top 2 percent of scientists worldwide in a recent analysis of 8 million scientists around the world. She is the president of Kindred World a non-profit dedicated to creating a wisdom-based worldview and the founder of the Evolved Nest a Kindred World initiative that integrates findings across various fields that bear on child development, child raising, and adult behavior while promoting optimal health and wellbeing, cooperation and sociomoral intelligences. She is the author of several books including the award-winning Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality. In this episode, we speak about the optimal environment for early child development and how our modern culture falls short of this, navigating order & chaos in parenting, the surprising truth about nature & nurture, how the collaboration and competition dynamic is related to left & right brain views of the world, contrasting views of wisdom, and so much more.

Sesshin Day 1: The Stress Response. Relevance To Zen Training And Human Morality by Ordinary Mind Zen School

As creators and users of machines, humans have a responsibility to ensure that machines are trained on human morality and ethical principles. This involves providing clear guidelines, values, and standards that machines should adhere to. Humans should also actively participate in the development and oversight of machine systems to ensure that they align with human values and do not cause harm. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-nishimoto/message

Dirt almost hit a hole in one. Oz The Mentalist stole episode 2 of Hard Knocks. Welcome to the new fun game show: Human Morality! Why did we listen to the professor?

Here is a common view on human development: In the beginning, children can only think about themselves. Slowly, they learn to care about others — or more cynically, they learn to pretend that they care about others. Variations of this view have been promoted by thinkers from Sigmund Freud to Richard Dawkins. This view has then been used to make predictable conclusions about ethics: human morality is either a social construct —  fearfully internalized — or a clever tactic, used by selfish individuals to reap the benefits of teamwork.  But what evidence do we actually have about young children's motivations? Do they genuinely not care about others?  To discuss these questions I have Dr Amrisha Vaish on the show. Vaish is a developmental psychologist at the University of Virginia, famous for her work on pro-social motivations in young children. We discuss issues such as: How spontaneous is it for young children to help others? Why do children help others? Do they want praise or do they genuinely care about others? How early does empathy emerge?  Different forms of empathy; or the subtle difference between matching others' emotions versus caring about others' emotios? What should parents do to help children grow to be more caring? Neurodiversity and empathy in autism Is anyone born a psychopath?  Where does mundane cruelty (e.g. to animals) come from? The difference between sympathy and guilt; and why does the latter emerge later? What decades of studying young children has taught Vaish about our species _________ Please consider becoming a supporter of On Humans.

Moralen utmärker människan och har sin grund i evolutionära processer. Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologi, reflekterar över varifrån vi fått vår godhed. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 2020-02-25.”Samhället kunde inte ha gått framåt utan det moraliska sinnet, lika lite som en bikupa kunde ha bildats utan binas instinkter”, klottrade en 29-åring Charles Darwin i sin dagbok 1838. Vilken målande beskrivning! –Människor behöver moral för att kunna leva ihop – på samma sätt som insekter behöver instinkter för att verka i sina samhällen. Men om moralen uppkommer instinktivt eller är inlärd har varit ämne för debatt sedan åtminstone medeltiden. Vissa menar att moralen är en del av vår kultur, andra att den kommer från Gud och vissa att den är en konsekvens av det ekonomiska systemet. Men kanske är det helt enkelt brist på mat som ligger bakom framväxten av människans moral.När jag ser tillbaka på vår arts historia slås jag ofta av samma tanke. Människan framstår som en komapatient som vaknat upp med total minnesförlust. Hon vet inte vem hon är eller var hon kommer ifrån. Hon stiger upp och inspekterar sina förmågor. Och hon tänker: ”Wow, jag måste vara någon sorts Gud!”.Det metaforiska uppvaknandet var det som brukar kallas ”den kognitiva revolutionen”, det vill säga när den förhistoriska människan utvecklade en kraftig förmåga till abstrakt tänkande. Och ända sedan skriftkonstens uppkomst har vi kunnat följa vår patients besatthet vid att distansera sig från biologin. Aristoteles, till exempel, sa under antiken att människans rationalitet höjde henne över djuren. Under medeltiden påstod den inflytelserika kristna filosofen Thomas av Aquino att människans odödliga själ separerade henne från djur. Och under renässansen förklarade René Descartes att människan, till skillnad från djur, bestod av två skilda substanser – ett rationellt sinne och en biologisk kropp.Alla dessa teorier ställdes på sitt huvud av Darwins och Alfred Russel Wallaces evolutionsteori på 1800-talet. Och vår patient fick i och med det för första gången möjlighet att placera sig själv rätt i historien. Hon var en apa – förvisso en rationell apa – men ändå en apa, i en lång led av andra apor.Upplysningsfilosofen Immanuel Kant påstod att det som utmärkte denna apa var moralen, medan David Hume tyckte att det var hennes förmåga att känna sympati. Ny forskning visar att Darwin, Kant och Hume alla hade rätt om människans natur.Evolutionsprocesser består, enkelt sagt, av två steg. Naturen skapar variation, och miljön avgör vilken variant som överlever och fortplantar sig. Dessa processer har också skapat vår arts instinktiva moraliska sinne, enligt till exempel utvecklingspsykologen Michael Tomasello.Förhistoriska människor existerar inte längre och är därmed svåra att studera. Men det finns många utförliga beteendestudier på vår nära biologiska släkting schimpansen och mänskliga barn i åldrarna 6 till 36 månader. Forskare anser att dessa barn är så små att de främst agerar enligt medfödda instinkter. Och de har funnit tydliga bevis på att barn, till skillnad från schimpanser, har utbredd medkänsla och aversion mot individer som utför våld. Barn hjälper andra på bekostnad av sig själva. Barn har ett sinne för vad som är rättvist och orättvist. Barn kan motstå sina mest själviska impulser. Grunderna för det vi vanligtvis menar med moralisk beteende tycks alltså vara medfödda. Men frågan är varför och hur de uppkom.Forskare tror att de människolika apor som var våra förfäder ursprungligen levde i dominansstyrda hierarkiska grupper, i likhet med de samhällen schimpanser och gorillor skapar. Men för ca 2 miljoner år sen förändrades klimatförhållandena i Afrika. De frukter som utgjorde våra förfäders basföda försvann. Med all sannolikhet dukade de allra flesta i arten under. Det enda sättet att överleva tycks ha varit att i grupp jaga större byten, eller att stjäla byten från stora rovdjur som lejon. Detta kunde endast göras om flera individer samarbetade effektivt. Tomasello lägger fram det han kallar ”theory of interdependence” – teorin om ömsesidig beroende – som säger att våra förfäder, till skillnad från schimpanserna, blev absolut beroende av varandra för att få mat. Och de som kunde samarbeta bäst överlevde.Alla djur föds med instinktiva beteenden som antagligen drivs av känslor. En av de starkaste biologiska impulserna är att känna sympati för sin avkomma. Men det har alltid funnits naturliga variationer i förmågan hos olika individer. För vissa apmänniskor verkar det som att sympatin slagit slint och börjat rikta sig brett – mot andras barn, mot vuxna, mot artfränder. Dessa individer klarade sig bättre i den nya ekologiska verkligheten. Att kunna bilda emotionella band till de man var beroende av för att få mat medförde nämligen att man hjälpte varandra under tider av nöd. Detta ledde till större framgång för gruppen – och därför större chans att överleva för individen. De som kände mer sympati kunde alltså få fler barn.”Medkänsla är grunden för moralen”, skrev filosofen Arthur Schopenhauer och de flesta evolutionspsykologer instämmer – en större förmåga till sympati har varit avgörande för moralens framväxt. Men det behövdes fler inslag för att bygga ut det moraliska ramverket. En annan psykologisk förmåga som är bra för samarbete är förmågan att kunna sätta sig i någon annans situation – empati. De hungrande människoaporna var ju beroende av att väljas som jaktpartner av andra – annars svalt de ihjäl. Man kan tänka sig att de som själviskt roffade åt sig jaktbytet inte blev frågade att följa med nästa gång. De som kunde känna igen när andra och de själva betedde sig orättvist – och kunde lägga band på sina mest extrema själviska impulser – blev valda som partners, fick mat och fick barn. Det lönade sig evolutionärt att ha ett samvete.När människoaporna efter en tid ökade i antal splittrades de i mindre grupper. De började konkurrera stam mot stam, om mat och utrymme. Antagligen var det nu olika kulturer växte fram – tillsammans med det som beteendevetare kallar ingrupp- och utgruppmentalitet – vi och dom, med andra ord. Det moraliska beteende som tjänat arten under evolutionen reserverades nu i hög grad för den egna gruppen. Vi har avhumaniserat varandra ungefär lika länge som vi har älskat varandra.Alla dessa beteenden och instinkter som visat sig vara evolutionärt fördelaktiga har stannat kvar hos oss – onekligen med lite variation mellan individer. De stöts och blöts mot kulturella och sociala koder och de förutsättningar en individ har att förhålla sig till. Men det är rätt talande att vi än idag härleder de flesta av våra moraliska normer till sympati och rättvisa. Biologin förknippas ibland med något som är lite smutsigt, djuriskt och rått. Men det är också till den vi måste vända oss om vi vill förstå våra mest civiliserade och ädla handlingar.Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologiLitteraturNicholas A.

Dr Victor Kumar is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Boston University, part of the Mind & Morality Lab's Moral Psychology Research Group and an author. Morality might seem like something that exists independently of humans. Things are either good or bad, the current evolutionary state humans in in should not impact this judgement. Yet it seems that culture and evolution heavily influenced each other, and they influenced morality too. Expect to learn why Asian people get red faces when they drink alcohol, which moral emotions can be detected in chimpanzees,  why sympathy can be seen as investment advice, how come some people can consume milk and others can't, whether moral grandstanding and performative empathy on Twitter can be explained by evolution, the reason for altruism existing and much more...

Content Warning: Childhood trauma and violence.Dr. T and The Truth Fairy welcome Dr. Darcia Narvaez to the show to discuss her work on the neurobiology of moral development. They specifically address her Evolved Nest theory and shed light on how greater connections can heal. Dr. Narvaez explains in detail how the Evolved Nest is the set of developmental provisions we give to the young. There are nine components that affect development and which Dr. Narvaez studies. The first components specifically refer to infants but the rest involve adults with themes like nature, immersion and connection, and healing practices. The discussion The Truth Fairy and Dr. T have with Darcia Narvaez delves into how psychedelics can assist  in feeling connected to the universe, but Dr. Narvaez adds that it's ideally accompanied by immersion, community, and being in touch with your body. They address how Indigenous culture has a greater connection to nature and self that we are disconnected from to greater and greater degrees in Western society.“I think we have to get back to the Indigenous worldview. So Indigenous worldview is this perspective of connection. But it's also respect and humble awareness of our limitations, and that we have so much to learn from the animals and plants who have been around as species much longer than we have. We're pretty young on the planet. And so the Native Americans have all sorts of practices and ceremonies of gratitude and thankfulness.” -  Darcia Narvaez, PhDAbout Darcia Narvaez, PhD:My life has been an adventure through many careers. I am still growing.My academic scholarship has moved from work on nonconscious moral rationality (in the 1990s), to moral character education in the schools (late 1990s- early 2000s), to the neurobiology of moral development (mid 2000s to present), to the study of evolved parenting practices (presently), and the study of small-band hunter-gatherers who represent the type of society in which humans evolved (presently). All this comes together in a moral developmental systems theory that emphasizes the ongoing epigenetic plasticity of how we develop our humanity and our morality. We are co-constructed by our families and our experiences.My concerns are for developmental optimization and fulfilling human potential—actionable communal imagination.  I put some of this together in various articles and chapters but mostly in my 2014 book, Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom.Resources discussed in this episode:Dr. Allan SchoreKindred WorldThe Evolved Nest“Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality” by Darcia Narvaez---Punk Therapy: website |emailDarcia Narvaez, PhD: website

Many of us believe that the culture we live in mirrors innate human nature. But today's dominant cultures of competitive destructive detachment are rare and recent. Nearly every other culture that has ever existed during our species history over millions of years has been one of connected cooperative companionship. We evolved in cooperative bands of kin and nonkin where we were nurtured and welcomed by all members of the community. We lived together, we gathered food together, we sang together, and we danced together. We knew it would have been impossible to survive on our own. But together, we thrived. Today, we are living in a culture that goes against everything it means to be human. Our culture emphasizes toughness over tenderness, isolation instead of togetherness, even for babies. As a result, we are depressed, anxious, chronically ill, and at the bottom of every international indicator for health. We are stuck in a Cycle of Competitive Detachment where we feel disconnected from others and even ourselves, while at the same time feeling we have to compete for anything worthwhile. There is a way, not only to break this cycle, but to create a new cycle, one that reclaims our humanity and helps us heal ourselves and our culture. We can create a cycle of connected, cooperative companionship. To heal ourselves and our world, we simply must return to this way of nurturing children and communities. And today's guest TEACHES how to restore the Cycles of Connected, Cooperative Companionship. Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame, who has written extensively on issues of character, moral development and human flourishing and whose work encompasses the neurology of moral development, as well as the study of evolved parenting practices.

The partiality we display, insofar as we form and sustain personal attachments, is not normatively fundamental. It is a byproduct of the deference and responsiveness that are essential to our engagement with the world. We cannot form and sustain valuable personal relationships without seeing ourselves as answerable to the other participants in those relationships. And we cannot develop and sustain valuable projects without responding to the constraints imposed on our activities by the nature and requirements of those projects themselves. More generally, we cannot engage with the world without meeting it on its terms, and we cannot meet the world on its terms without responding differentially – or displaying partiality – with respect to the objects of our engagement. Partiality is thus a byproduct of engagement. We cannot engage with the world at all without exhibiting forms of partiality.

So you want to make sure you don't distress the baby because then you're shifting the trajectory away from wellness towards illness or ill-being or adversity.(In a) welcoming social climate, the mother feels supported, the baby is wanted, the community is delighted with having the baby around, and the baby feels like they belong, that they can make a difference, make other people smile and laugh as they are made to smile and laugh…The mother is there to be affectively attuned to the baby's emotional systems to keep maintaining them in the best bio-chemistry for growth.You want to let children have that (self-directed play) experience when they're young so they can build self-confidence. . . When you don't provide the nest, in general, you're deflating that individual…We can get caught up in ruminations, because of this left brain, especially if we weren't raised in a nurturing way, we'll have OCD, worry, depression… all this stuff that goes on when you're un-nested… So we need healing practices to get back into centeredness, into relational connection with others and the natural world, back into gratitude and into our bodies…Our sociology relies on good biology.If we're raised in these nested communities, virtue is a byproduct, is the result. You would not survive in a community, dependent on others, if you were vicious. So, virtue is part of our heritage as well.In the primal wisdom, the kinship worldview, life is relationships with everything, with All other relations, animals, plants, spirits, etc.We're trying to get back to connection, to understand that we are all connected, and that part of being connected properly is to be present, to honor the spider, the tree, the Earth, the computer, these are all things that people are relating to…We are embodied creatures, we're bio-social.Another piece is holism. The way to be human isn't just to be in this thinking mind, that left brain eco-consciousness. It's actually quite distressing to be there.The left brain thinks it knows everything.If your survival systems are overdeveloped and you're easily triggered, the authoritarian is going to be easy to pull you in. . . We forgot that we need to nurture, nurture the heart. And, you have to be immersed in relationships to build the empathy, the sensitivity, and the understanding, and the willingness to forgive, and be generous… All that is part of the Indigenous way, you're immersed in that kind of  social, loving community. And this then allows you to grow your human potential. Which is another thing we're not doing…Generosity is part of who you are a human being. But what Capitalism (to the Gift Economy) has done is stop that flow and allowed people to hoard resources, and force others to not have any resources…Writing “Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality” brought me to the realization that Indigenous wisdom, the kinship worldview, is our heritage. It is what comes about when we honor our physicality, our embodiedness, our species wisdom, and it's what will save us…The Western wisdoms tell us, "Clear your heart, clear your fear, clear your ego, and then be open to divine energies.”Thanks for listening.

We told you what Putin had in mind and it won't end there. Yes, the Russian issue will affect us. Remember we told you so. Don't hide away thinking we are not involved and it won't have any impact. Let's hope we are wrong about it and the raging ideals of a Russian economy won't spill over and cause another capital attack. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jackie-serrano/support

Philosopher Tim Dean on why human morality needs an update for the modern world

Philosopher Tim Dean on why human morality needs an update for the modern world

"It's just the way it is!" "Progress is always good" These are the sentiments that many people feel about the way our society and culture is structured. Because it's how we've grown up and what we've experienced, we believe this is the way it is. We view change as progress and think that anything different must be less than. But what if this isn't the type of society or life that enabled us humans to thrive? We evolved to this point, but is this really the best we can hope for? Welcome to the concept of the Evolved Nest - the concept that how we lived for the majority of human history has been what enabled our success and moving back to the key features of that history can help us thrive once again. This week I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Darcia Narveaz, the creator of this concept and the associated nonprofit organization to discuss what this involves and how we can all thrive. Isn't it time we get to the stage where we all feel whole again?

She also writes a popular blog for Psychology Today called “Moral Landscapes.” In this episode, we talk about moral development. First, we define morality, and talk about the concept of the “evolved nest”. We ask if morality is innate, and discuss moral foundations theory and its limitations. We get into moral development, and talk about the role of genetics, the parents, and the wider community. We talk about multiples inheritances genes, epigenetics, developmental plasticity, basic needs, the microbiome, local and macro ecological heritages). We mention the importance of social interaction in child development. We discuss human flourishing, and what we can learn from indigenous societies. Finally, we talk about studying human behavior through a multidisciplinary approach. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, PHYLICIA STEVENS, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JOÃO ALVES DA SILVA, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, MIRAN B, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, MAX BEILBY, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, AND SAIMA AFZAL!

Moralen utmärker människan och har sin grund i evolutionära processer. Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologi, reflekterar över varifrån vi fått vår godhet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Samhället kunde inte ha gått framåt utan det moraliska sinnet, lika lite som en bikupa kunde ha bildats utan binas instinkter, klottrade en 29-åring Charles Darwin i sin dagbok 1838. Vilken målande beskrivning! Människor behöver moral för att kunna leva ihop på samma sätt som insekter behöver instinkter för att verka i sina samhällen. Men om moralen uppkommer instinktivt eller är inlärd har varit ämne för debatt sedan åtminstone medeltiden. Vissa menar att moralen är en del av vår kultur, andra att den kommer från Gud och vissa att den är en konsekvens av det ekonomiska systemet. Men kanske är det helt enkelt brist på mat som ligger bakom framväxten av människans moral. När jag ser tillbaka på vår arts historia slås jag ofta av samma tanke. Människan framstår som en komapatient som vaknat upp med total minnesförlust. Hon vet inte vem hon är eller var hon kommer ifrån. Hon stiger upp och inspekterar sina förmågor. Och hon tänker: Wow, jag måste vara någon sorts Gud!. Det metaforiska uppvaknandet var det som brukar kallas den kognitiva revolutionen, det vill säga när den förhistoriska människan utvecklade en kraftig förmåga till abstrakt tänkande. Och ända sedan skriftkonstens uppkomst har vi kunnat följa vår patients besatthet vid att distansera sig från biologin. Aristoteles, till exempel, sa under antiken att människans rationalitet höjde henne över djuren. Under medeltiden påstod den inflytelserika kristna filosofen Thomas av Aquino att människans odödliga själ separerade henne från djur. Och under renässansen förklarade René Descartes att människan, till skillnad från djur, bestod av två skilda substanser ett rationellt sinne och en biologisk kropp. Alla dessa teorier ställdes på sitt huvud av Darwins och Alfred Russel Wallaces evolutionsteori på 1800-talet. Och vår patient fick i och med det för första gången möjlighet att placera sig själv rätt i historien. Hon var en apa förvisso en rationell apa men ändå en apa, i en lång led av andra apor. Upplysningsfilosofen Immanuel Kant påstod att det som utmärkte denna apa var moralen, medan David Hume tyckte att det var hennes förmåga att känna sympati. Ny forskning visar att Darwin, Kant och Hume alla hade rätt om människans natur. Evolutionsprocesser består, enkelt sagt, av två steg. Naturen skapar variation, och miljön avgör vilken variant som överlever och fortplantar sig. Dessa processer har också skapat vår arts instinktiva moraliska sinne, enligt till exempel utvecklingspsykologen Michael Tomasello. Förhistoriska människor existerar inte längre och är därmed svåra att studera. Men det finns många utförliga beteendestudier på vår nära biologiska släkting schimpansen och mänskliga barn i åldrarna 6 till 36 månader. Forskare anser att dessa barn är så små att de främst agerar enligt medfödda instinkter. Och de har funnit tydliga bevis på att barn, till skillnad från schimpanser, har utbredd medkänsla och aversion mot individer som utför våld. Barn hjälper andra på bekostnad av sig själva. Barn har ett sinne för vad som är rättvist och orättvist. Barn kan motstå sina mest själviska impulser. Grunderna för det vi vanligtvis menar med moralisk beteende tycks alltså vara medfödda. Men frågan är varför och hur de uppkom. Forskare tror att de människolika apor som var våra förfäder ursprungligen levde i dominansstyrda hierarkiska grupper, i likhet med de samhällen schimpanser och gorillor skapar. Men för ca 2 miljoner år sen förändrades klimatförhållandena i Afrika. De frukter som utgjorde våra förfäders basföda försvann. Med all sannolikhet dukade de allra flesta i arten under. Det enda sättet att överleva tycks ha varit att i grupp jaga större byten, eller att stjäla byten från stora rovdjur som lejon. Detta kunde endast göras om flera individer samarbetade effektivt. Tomasello lägger fram det han kallar theory of interdependence teorin om ömsesidig beroende som säger att våra förfäder, till skillnad från schimpanserna, blev absolut beroende av varandra för att få mat. Och de som kunde samarbeta bäst överlevde. Alla djur föds med instinktiva beteenden som antagligen drivs av känslor. En av de starkaste biologiska impulserna är att känna sympati för sin avkomma. Men det har alltid funnits naturliga variationer i förmågan hos olika individer. För vissa apmänniskor verkar det som att sympatin slagit slint och börjat rikta sig brett mot andras barn, mot vuxna, mot artfränder. Dessa individer klarade sig bättre i den nya ekologiska verkligheten. Att kunna bilda emotionella band till de man var beroende av för att få mat medförde nämligen att man hjälpte varandra under tider av nöd. Detta ledde till större framgång för gruppen och därför större chans att överleva för individen. De som kände mer sympati kunde alltså få fler barn. Medkänsla är grunden för moralen, skrev filosofen Arthur Schopenhauer och de flesta evolutionspsykologer instämmer en större förmåga till sympati har varit avgörande för moralens framväxt. Men det behövdes fler inslag för att bygga ut det moraliska ramverket. En annan psykologisk förmåga som är bra för samarbete är förmågan att kunna sätta sig i någon annans situation empati. De hungrande människoaporna var ju beroende av att väljas som jaktpartner av andra annars svalt de ihjäl. Man kan tänka sig att de som själviskt roffade åt sig jaktbytet inte blev frågade att följa med nästa gång. De som kunde känna igen när andra och de själva betedde sig orättvist och kunde lägga band på sina mest extrema själviska impulser blev valda som partners, fick mat och fick barn. Det lönade sig evolutionärt att ha ett samvete. När människoaporna efter en tid ökade i antal splittrades de i mindre grupper. De började konkurrera stam mot stam, om mat och utrymme. Antagligen var det nu olika kulturer växte fram tillsammans med det som beteendevetare kallar ingrupp- och utgruppmentalitet vi och dom, med andra ord. Det moraliska beteende som tjänat arten under evolutionen reserverades nu i hög grad för den egna gruppen. Vi har avhumaniserat varandra ungefär lika länge som vi har älskat varandra. Alla dessa beteenden och instinkter som visat sig vara evolutionärt fördelaktiga har stannat kvar hos oss onekligen med lite variation mellan individer. De stöts och blöts mot kulturella och sociala koder och de förutsättningar en individ har att förhålla sig till. Men det är rätt talande att vi än idag härleder de flesta av våra moraliska normer till sympati och rättvisa. Biologin förknippas ibland med något som är lite smutsigt, djuriskt och rått. Men det är också till den vi måste vända oss om vi vill förstå våra mest civiliserade och ädla handlingar. Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologi Litteratur Nicholas A.

How do honest science and practical faith exist in the same space? We’re diving into the relationship between our faith and hard science as an encouragement for those who enjoy exploring, and as a way to equip everyone in the community to develop a robust worldview for engaging with culture and their neighbors.

June 14, 2017 Discussion on book "A Natural History of Human Morality," calls from listeners by Dr. Farid Holakouee

What is the Nature of Human Morality? Professor Shaun Nichols (Arizona) Abstract Prof Nichols: Philosophical observation and psychological studies indicate that people draw subtle distinctions in the normative domain. But it remains unclear exactly what gives rise to such distinctions. On one prominent approach, emotion systems trigger non-utilitarian judgments. The main alternative, inspired by Chomskyan linguistics, suggests that moral distinctions derive from an innate moral grammar. We develop a rational learning account. We argue that the “size principle”, which is implicated in word learning (Xu & Tenenbaum 2007), can also explain how children would use scant and equivocal evidence to interpret candidate rules as applying more narrowly than utilitarian rules. Shaun Nichols is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona. A pioneer of the emerging discipline of ‘experimental philosophy’, Prof Nichols is interested in the psychological processes underlying our everyday moral intuitions, moral reasoning and moral decision-making – and in how understanding these processes can shed light on classic and contemporary questions in morality and ethics. More specifically, his research has brought an empirically-informed lens to bear on a range of philosophical questions including free will, moral responsibility and blameworthiness, and notions of self and personal identity. He is author of three edited volumes and two books (Sentimental Rules and Mindreading), and has been published in such prestigious journals as Mind and Language and the Journal of Philosophy.

Being lied to, cheated upon, stolen from—these are among life’s most emotional experiences, and even watching them happen to someone else can trigger strong feelings. Recent work has confirmed the important role of emotion in human morality, but less is known about precisely which emotions are involved and how emotion exerts its influence. In this talk, I discuss the role of distinct emotions in morality, with a focus on disgust. I also describe a new line of research that aims to examine how emotion and cognition interact to give moral values their special weight in decision-making. Taken together, these two lines of work suggest that both emotion and cognition are key contributors to human morality.
