The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are - The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology
Description
Drawing on evolutionary biology, psychology, and the work of Charles Darwin, this provocative study examines the hidden forces that shape human behavior—from love, sex, and family life to ambition, competition, and social status. It explores how natural selection may have influenced our instincts and relationships, while asking what these patterns reveal about morality, free will, and the societies we build. Combining scientific insight with lively, accessible prose, the book challenges readers to reconsider why we behave as we do and what, if anything, evolution can teach us about how we ought to live.
