Jeffrey P. Schloss, Distinguished Professor and T. B. Walker Chair of Biology at Westmont College John Tooby, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara

If evolution is the only story, then is all biological relationship built on competition and survival? Does that lead to morally corrupt systems like Social Darwinism, or do we need to turn to outside sources, like religious belief, to find true love and collaboration? Jeffrey Schloss and John Tooby discuss one of the cutting edge areas of research in evolutionary theory from two perspectives in this stimulating discussion from The Veritas Forum at Cal Poly SLO.
