The Evolutionary Origins of Morality
Human beings have a strong moral sense, a belief in what behaviour is right and what is wrong. We may not always agree on exactly what is right, but that there is right and wrong is an almost universal human sensibility. Throughout human history there has been continual debate about the nature of this moral sense: where it comes from and how it works.

Dine, Discuss, and Debate in a friendly environment!
Join us for a regular lunchtime meetup. We’ll be informally discussing ideas about human progress, social issues, and human fallibility. If you’re open minded, enjoy a good debate, and interested to learn from the ideas of others, come along to dine and discuss in a local pub. We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute to the conversation and we would love for you to be a part of it.
