Morality

It is interesting (first video) but it has left me with some unanswered questions. Increased levels of oxytocin is a byproduct of human interaction (one of many possible methods). He said oxytocin has a baseline level of 0 and needs a stimulant. It would be more interesting if his research found out what drives us to want to initiate those interactions in the first place. Knowing this would be far more significant in the search for morality.
