Can anyone recommend a book on the origin and/or nature of human morality and ethics? Are all our morals the product of socialization?

What writers do you think handled this issue well?

What are your own personal thoughts on this topic?

Just because Judeo-Christian morals were born out of resentment does that necessarily mean they are of little value? Isn't that just mixing up cause and effect? Anybody care to answer?

I mean, Camus and Kafka dont get at the roots of morality, but they're books are parables with commentary on ethics

Basing morals on the assumption of an afterlife cripples them automatically. If they have some value it's a coincidence.
