- catalog abstract "Human values are innate, a product of man's evolution and genetics. This is the unorthodox thesis of this major work, which for the first time places the study of values on a firm scientific foundation. Drawing on biological findings which indicate that the fundamental behavioral motivations of each species are inherited, the author looks at the human brain as a biological decision system in which innate values in the form of human motivations serve as the decision criteria.".
