RPP Colloquium: Natural “SuperCooperation” and the Future of Our Human Family

Evolution is an organizing principle of the living world. While competition is integral to evolution, cooperation can be seen as the master architect of biological complexity, language, and culture. Human beings have emerged from this evolutionary process as “SuperCooperators.” In this Religions and the Practice of Peace (RPP) Colloquium, Martin Nowak discusses the scientific interpretation of evolution and its compatibility with Christian theology, which holds that God is the primary cause for all that exists, the creator and sustainer of the universe.
