About This Book

In The Moral Animal, human behavior is seen through an evolutionary lens, revealing how instincts shape daily choices. We navigate love, jealousy, cooperation, and competition not through pure reason, but through ancient psychological adaptations. Social bonds, mate preferences, and moral judgments are rooted in survival pressures faced by our ancestors. Understanding these deep influences helps explain why we act the way we do in relationships and society today.
