This problem plagued\u0026nbsp;Charles Darwin in the 1850s as he developed his theory of evolution through\u0026nbsp;natural selection. Indeed, Darwin worried that the goodness he observed in\u0026nbsp;nature could be the Achilles heel of his theory. Ever since then, scientists and\u0026nbsp;other thinkers have engaged in a fierce debate about the origins of goodness\u0026nbsp;that has dragged politics, philosophy, and religion into what remains a major\u0026nbsp;question for evolutionary biology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDugatkin plans to delve even deeper into this topic, while asking and answering thought provoking questions as part of the Frontiers In Science series.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere will be a reception after the talk and time for visitors to chat with Dugatkin and each other.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EInvestigating the origins and evolution of goodness in humans and animals, Lee Dugatkin will give a thought provoking lecture on the topic, entitled \u0022The Evolution of Goodness.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Guest lecturer Lee Dugatkin will be speaking on \u0022The Evolution of Goodness.\u0022"}],"uid":"28135","created_gmt":"2015-01-15 16:41:44","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:20:38","author":"Connor Creech","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-01-29T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-01-29T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-01-29T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-01-29 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-01-29 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-01-29 23:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"364771":{"id":"364771","type":"image","title":"Lee Dugatkin","body":null,"created":"1449245805","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:16:45","changed":"1475895100","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:40","alt":"Lee Dugatkin","file":{"fid":"202100","name":"leedugatkin.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/leedugatkin_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/leedugatkin_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":384447,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/leedugatkin_0.jpg?itok=k_wa2EeE"}}},"media_ids":["364771"],"groups":[{"id":"1278","name":"College of Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
