The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are -- The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology

Robert Wright

#3387 of 3,809 books · #487 in Science & Technology

Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Science and Technology (1995).

One of the most provocative science books ever published. Are men literally born to cheat? Does monogamy actually serve women's interests? These are among the questions that have made The Moral Animal one of the most provocative science books in recent years. Wright unveils the genetic strategies behind everything from our sexual preferences to our office politics—as well as their implications for our moral codes and public policies.
