CLOUTIER," which could be that of the author or researcher. The text at the bottom left corner seems to indicate a publication date "FEBRUARY 2017." In the lower right corner, there's a logo with what looks like a stylized letter "C" within a circle, and beside it, the word "CONFIDENTIALITY" in capital letters.

Marc D. Hauser discusses his research on human nature and behavior in this book, focusing on the causes of evil and our capacity for both kindness and cruelty. He draws from personal experiences living in Uganda and speaking with those who have witnessed or escaped from horrors caused by brutal dictators like Milton Obote and Idi Amin. Hauser also reflects on his father's childhood as a Jew hiding from Nazis, highlighting the importance of understanding evil to prevent it from causing further harm. The book aims to explain why we are drawn to excessive harm and what can be done to address this issue.
