  • The Moral Animal is a 1994 book by Robert Wright. The New York Times Book Review chose Wright's The Moral Animal as one of the 12 best books of 1994; it was a national bestseller and has been published in 12 languages. The book explores many facets of our everyday life through the lens of evolutionary biology. Wright attempts to relay Darwinian explanations for human behavior and psychology, our social dynamics and structures, as well as our relationships with lovers, friends, and family. The book borrows extensively from Charles Darwin's official publications, including his famed Origin of the Species, but also from his less well-known chronicles and personal writings, illustrating behavioral principles with Darwin's own biographical examples.
  • L'Animal moral est un essai de psychologie évolutionniste écrit par Robert Wright en 1994 et publié en 1995 en français. Son propos est d'expliquer la psychologie humaine à la lumière de la théorie néodarwinienne de l'évolution, en prenant comme illustration des anecdotes tirées de la propre vie de Charles Darwin. L'idée fondamentale est que les caractéristiques psychologiques de l'être humain lui ont procuré un avantage adaptatif dans l'environnement ancestral dans lequel s'est déroulée l'évolution humaine. La psychologie évolutionniste s'attaque ainsi à des problèmes de psychologie quotidienne, par exemple le problème des différences entre les hommes et les femmes, notamment quant aux comportements sexuels, mais aussi à des problèmes philosophiques anciens comme celui des racines naturelles de la morale.
