Dacher Keltner is a psychology professor at UC Berkeley whose research focuses on two time-honored questions. A first is the biological and evolutionary origins of human emotion, with a special concentration on compassion, awe, love, and beauty, and how emotions shape all kinds of judgments. A second is the study of power, status and social class, and the nature of moral intuitions. Dacher is the co-author of two best selling textbooks, one on human emotion, the other on social psychology, as well as Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life, published in January 2009 by WW Norton Publishers, and The Compassionate Instinct, to be published by WW Norton in 2010.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The talk is about Compassion (and Empathy), for those looking for a subject or title.

He is right, compassion, love, emotions are all inborn, so does, hate, disgust, anger and they are the ones that destroy us ...thus the reason for the commandment "thou shall not kill" love your neighbour as yourself," "thou shall not steal" someone must have known that we would go down that road some day.

I love this video! Particularly the thought about touch. I will touch people more - hope they don't find it weird:)

Through Keltner's own admission morals are inborn and instinctual in all pre-persons. But not only in all pre-persons - whereby a person (or human) follows - but *all* members of the human (or even primate) specie. And the definition of *all* is every member of that specie from the first occurrence of 'modern primates', or humans. From an infant born this day, to an infant born 300,000 years ago. All pre-persons - since time was measured - possessed the *exact same moral framework.* Yes, this sounds absurd. As absurd as Keltner's position in this field. What measured results Keltner recorded are not morals, they are simply instinctual *reflexes* inherent in the specie which pre-date 'modern primates'. This dimension of human evolution was not studied. Just as the ear, appendix, hair, digits on appendages evolved into the primate specie makeup - *emotional reflexes" have followed. Keltner opened a bunch of doors into the development of human emotion but never bothered to reach doors further back in primate development. Pre-persons possess no innate, inborn or instinctual 'morals.' If this were true - if all pre-persons (and subsequently humans) began as immaculate 'moral' vessels - explain how is it the following came into creation: abortion; slavery; pornography; child abuse; suicide; war; drug abuse. If a pre-person (and subsequent human) possessed *any* morals, would you not agree - for the sake of self preservation and survival - *all* pre-persons would be adverse to abortion? Keltner's results are simple to understand; to get along, you have to go along. There are no 'morals.'

Hmm the kindness gene must have skipped you, sadly...
