Seconds to minutes before
Adolescence: or, Dude, where's my frontal cortex?
Back to the crib, back to the womb
Back to when you were just a fertilized egg
Centuries to millennia before
The evolution of behavior
Hierarchy, obedience, and resistance
Morality and doing the right thing, once you've figured out what that is
Feeling someone's pain, understanding someone's pain, alleviating someone's pain
Biology, the criminal justice system, and (oh, why not?) free will
