Oltre che umani, noi ci gloriamo di essere "umanitari": un modo per eleggere la moralità a marchio distintivo della nostra natura. Gli animali, ovviamente, non possono essere umani: ma possono essere "umanitari"? I biologi e gli evoluzionisti sostengono che deve esistere una continuità tra il comportamento dell'uomo e quello degli altri animali. Ma questa continuità vale anche per il concetto di etica? E se vale, qual è il vantaggio evoluzioni...
