This is a fascinating read that probably needs a different title. Or to be focused. Judging by the last chapter of the book, “Peace,” the author seems to be suggesting an inter-species golden rule, although the rest of the book explores how various moral principles work in humans and certain other mammals, especially whales, elephants, and chimps.
