Dr. Lee Alan Dugatkin, a professor of Biology at the University of Louisville, has been doing research on the evolution of goodness in humans and non-humans for the last twenty years. As he points out here and in his 2008 IdeaFestival presentation, altruistic behavior can be found throughout the animal kingdom. His latest book "Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose" is a tale of both natural history and American history and will be the subject of talk planned for IF'09.
