Stone those who have had sex out of wedlock.\&nbsp;Kill outgroup members.\&nbsp;Human moral communities have developed a variety of moral rules,\&nbsp;injunctions, prescriptions, and suggestions. How are we to understand the\&nbsp;origins and nature of human morality, both at the level of universal building\&nbsp;blocks and the level of cultural variation and elaboration? As this volume\&nbsp;illustrates, understanding human moral psychology is a truly interdisciplinary endeavor, drawing important contributions from psychologists,\&nbsp;neuroscientists, philosophers, biologists, legal scholars, and many others.\&nbsp;Our goal in this chapter is to illustrate the utility of taking an adaptationist approach from evolutionary biology to understand universal aspects of\&nbsp;moral psychology. We first describe what it means to take an adaptationist\&nbsp;approach. We next give several examples of how an adaptationist approach\&nbsp;has informed the study of certain aspects of moral psychology. We then\&nbsp;briefly conclude with what we see as the value of this approach to the study\&nbsp;of moral psychology broadly.},
