While it is obviously interesting, it is not necessary as Boehm does to rel
ate the analysis of morality to lives of primates other than humans. Exposi
tion of human prehistory and history offer ample basis for comparative work
. Especially, the transition from hunting/gathering/foraging to agriculture
/pastoralism appears to have generated urgent moralistic behaviour. In an i
nteresting historical curiosity, Max Weber himself perceived the basis of m
orality, or legitimacy, in biosocial precesses.
