THE MORAL ANIMAL
Evolutionary Psychology and Everyday Life

Robert Wright

Vintage Books, Random House, 1994

As he presents the latest findings in the emerging field of evolutionary psychology -- which views human behavior in light of Darwinian theory -- Robert Wright unveils the unconscious strategies that shape our romantic choices, familial feelings, friendships, and office politics. And on a deeper level, this book compels us to rethink our most basic moral assumptions, with lasting implications for our public policy as well as for our intimate daily actions.
