The study of morality has usually focused on casual observation and theoretical rambling. Lately more rigorous scientific studies of morality have uncovered unexpected facets of morality.
Examples :
Studies of brain functioning observed by magnetic resonance imaging.
Monkeys and chimps observed in confinement and in the wild.
Other animals shown to cooperate rather than merely herding or flocking.
Carefully designed psychological testing.
How does this affect Rand’s moral theory? What can we learn from evolutionary theory?

I am experimenting with the new venue.
