About the book
Robert Wright, using tools from evolutionary psychology, reconstructs human nature not as a rational creation, but as a product of millions of years of natural selection. He explores how our emotions, romantic relationships, aggression, and morality were shaped to maximize genetic survival.
Controversial but rigorous, The Moral Animal makes no apologies: it reveals motivations we culturally deny and offers disturbing insights into the human condition. Essential for anyone seeking to understand the psychology behind our behaviors—and the moral implications of these revelations.
