The Moral Animal: Why We Are, the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology by Robert Wright

3.0

More introduction to 90s evolutionary psychology as weltanschauung than to the field’s current more empirically minded incarnation. It’s alternatingly bafflingly simplistic and genuinely interesting. Robert Wright’s prose is good enough to make the entire thing bearable, even the slightly torturous sections on gender.
