Poorly written so far! Finding it difficult to follow the details of Hauser's argument, if there are any.

Moral Minds will become a well-referenced contribution to the naturalization of human morality. The jig may not be entirely up for those who support a supernatural origin of ethics, but arguments like Hauser's put it on life support. Although the analogy is not original to Hauser, his presentation of moral development as being analogous to language development is as well done as I've seen. He also does a fine job of linking the traditional philosophical analyzes of morality (Rawls, Hume, etc.) with his evidence-based consideration.
