An interview with Marc Hauser appears in the recent Discover Magazine. In Hauser's new book Moral Minds he pretends contends that humans evolved to have an innate moral sense, an innate moral grammar analogous to Chomsky's idea of an innate universal grammar underlying our linguistic competence. The book surveys most of important and interesting data available on the subject, but in the end, we are left with this:
Discover: What is the evidence that infants already have a moral code ingrained in their brains?

Hauser: I don't think we're ready to say.
