Why socio-political beliefs Trump individual morality: An evolutionary perspective
That morality originated through a co-evolutionary process of cultural and biological evolution to reap the benefits of cooperation in social dilemma situations has become a well accepted and empirically supported view in the literature (Curry et al. Citation2019; Veit Citation2019). However, the picture provided by these accounts has hitherto failed to map onto a large cluster of behavioral phenomena that can be considered the “dark side of morality”—that is, morally-motivated behavior that is harmful and violent.

Abstract

That morality originated through a co-evolutionary process of cultural and biological evolution to reap the benefits of cooperation in social dilemma situations has become a well accepted and empirically supported view in the literature (Curry et al. Citation2019; Veit Citation2019). However, the picture provided by these accounts has hitherto failed to map onto a large cluster of behavioral phenomena that can be considered the “dark side of morality”—that is, morally-motivated behavior that is harmful and violent.
