I've received my copy of Primates and Philosophers and have read the Introduction and a few pages of Chapter 1. I'm liking the format of the book - how several different people present their concepts on the origins and evolutionary development of morality in our species.

Now that I have the book I'm realizing the current format for this forum isn't going to work. I originally created the threads based on an index for the book found on Amazon.com, but the index was misleading. For instance, the Appendices are actually quite brief and shouldn't necessarily be their own threads, and they certainly shouldn't be the first threads. I'll look over the book and rethink the format for this forum.

The book is on hold and will be picked up at the library this Friday. You can count me in.

Reading along...

I am totally new to book forums. Is there a how-to or an etiquette FAQ? I'm not sure how to participate when discussion ensues. Is it considered OK to just jump in (rather like what I am doing now)? Thank you, Anna

Please disregard my recent post. I found the FAQ section. Duh. (Told you I was new...) I look forward to the Primates and Philosophers discussions. Anna

I downloaded a sample, which includes the first chapter or so of the book, onto my Kindle. If it holds my attention, I'll purchase the entire book and keep reading.
