RESPONSE: Biocultural Evolution and Christian Ethics

Abstract: Studies of the biogenetic concomitants of cultural, religious, and moral formation offer valuable insights for Christian ethics, regarding agency, moral dispositions and potential pathways of moral reform. This response considers the biogenetic effects of both just and unjust cultures and practices, and raises the question whether the former does or can outweigh and override the former, not only in individuals, but in societies and political communities.
