Publisher's Synopsis
The theme of this book is simple: 250,000 years ago the Group and Loyalty to it was our whole world, was everything, because without it you would starve to death, or be killed by predators. Loyalty to the Group was everything, and Disloyalty was a crime - the only crime. Here, the author proposes that same Disloyalty, projected forward into the enormous 'groups' called countries we live in today, must still be the basis of mosts, if not all crimes. Therefore Loyalty and Disloyalty must also lie at the core of human morality.
