Conclusion•Cultural Variation

▫Exploiting Modules to Elicit Behavior▫Relative Use of the Four Modules▫Culturally-Assigned Meaning of Virtues▫Complex Interactions Between Virtues

Interesting Points▫1. Suggests psychology will link biology

and sociology on the topic of ethics▫2. Evolution Based Theory for Ethics/Virtue▫3. Suggests Three Core Cross Cultural

Morals

Critical Review•Author Presents A Modified Nativist View

▫Not an Independent Study▫Based on a Review of Existing Literature▫Intuitions are the Author’s Suggested Key

to Uncovering Evolutionary Basis for Ethics/Virtues

▫Needs Support from Further Research
