About this listen
Are men literally born to cheat? Does monogamy actually serve women's interests? These are among the questions that have made The Moral Animal one of the most provocative science books in recent years. Wright unveils the genetic strategies behind everything from our sexual preferences to our office politics - as well as their implications for our moral codes and public policies.

Thoroughly fascinating
Very well written. Can be verbose at times (e.g. too much coverage of Darwin's personal life) but the author does make good points with all that detail. Not for the faint-hearted; shatters illusions about altruism with an unfiltered exploration of evolutionary psychology.

Wright on
Informative, logical, well written. This book showed how biological evolution can explain much otherwise puzzling human behaviour.

An excellent and important work that holds up
Truly an excellent book that only occasionally reminds the reader that it was written in the 90s. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in really understanding the origins behind our shared moral inclinations, and an exploration of what those inclinations are.
And despite the book ruining some of the "magic" of altruism and brotherly love, it ends on a surprisingly upbeat note.

Good book, good approach to the topic
I truly enjoyed the book, the evolutionary psychology perspective taken was very interesting, I also think that the references to Darwin life were really good maybe the best part. There are some claims made throughout the book that need some verification but overall a really good book, highly recommended.
The narration is also very good it makes the book more enjoyable
