Is our sense of morality hardwired in the brain or is it learnt? Adam Rutherford investigates the science of morality and new research which suggests our moral code could be innate.
Is a sense of morality hard-wired in the brain, or is it a product of our environment and upbringing? Adam Rutherford investigates the new science of morality and the suprising evidence that we may be born with some kind of innate moral code.
