Baumard et al. make a good case that a sense of fairness evolved and that showing this requires reciprocity games with choice of partner. However, they oversimplify both morality and the evolution of morality. Where fairness is involved in morality, other things are, too, and fairness is often not involved. In the evolution of morality, other things played a role. Plus, the motive for being fair originally was self-interest, not anything moral.
鲍马德等人提出了一个很好的观点，即公平感是进化而来的，而要表现出这种公平感，则需要进行带有伙伴选择的互惠博弈。然而，他们对道德和道德的进化都过于简单化了。在道德中涉及公平的地方，也涉及其他因素，而公平往往并不涉及。在道德的进化中，其他因素也起到了作用。此外，公平的最初动机是自身利益，而不是任何道德因素。
