100Sadistic cruelty and unempathic evil: Psychobiological and evolutionary considerationsBehavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3): 242-242. 2006.Understanding the origins of evil behaviour is one of our most important intellectual tasks. A distinction can perhaps be drawn between overt sadistic cruelty and the lack of empathy to suffering that is a hallmark of evil. There is increasing data available on the prevalence, proximal psychobiological underpinnings, and distal evolutionary basis for these contrasting phenomena.
