I would love to see a collective genealogy of emotional generation throughout the developmental family tree of homo homo hubskapien. Like ol' Fred Nietzsche in "Genealogy of Morals" but somehow humping up against the leg of science instead of the human condition.

Hm, much as I hate to refer someone to Steven Pinker, mightn't The Better Angels of Our Nature be what you're looking for? And it seems like the Peter Singer's idea of the expanding moral circle is quite fashionable nowadays—both Singer and Pinker pay their dues to evolution, science, and whatnot. The humping imagery is hilarious, by the way. I'm picturing a tiny dog with a giant walrus/Nietzsche moustache.
