Evolution is "thrifty and tinkering," after all, as biologist E. O. Wilson has written, and could be pushing our complex species toward a more benevolent future, in spite of what we read in the paper. This primordial sense of right and wrong -- hard wired into our brains when mastodons still pounded the earth -- may well be our ace in the hole.
