The Moral Authority Of Animals | NOEMA For millennia before we showed up on the scene, social animals β€” those living in societies and cooperating for survival β€” had been creating cultures imbued with ethics.

β€œIn a world where power is misused, public morality has become slippery & dishonesty lurches sickeningly through public speech, animals can offer vital lessons for human ethics, political wisdom & social health.”
