Description
The Moral Animal: Evolutionary Psychology and Everyday Life by Robert Wright Robert Wright explores the science of evolutionary psychology, examining how our most basic preoccupations - such as sex, ambition, and politics - are shaped by our biology. Drawing on the life and work of Charles Darwin, Wright seeks to understand the fundamental instincts that underlie our behaviour, and how these instincts relate to morality and morality. This thought-provoking work sheds light on the underlying drivers of human behaviour, and invites readers to consider the biological roots of our most fundamental values.
