Liked It “An interesting book about the biological struggle to pass the genes to the next generation. |
Didn’t Like It “Unnecessary book that just forever states the obvious, written by someone without very much credibility and it seems to show. Essentially encapsulates in 350 pages what one could do alone in 20 minutes of just thinking.” see full review » see other reviews » |

One half of it is about animals, so one may skip it and go on to the second part - on humans.”“Unnecessary book that just forever states the obvious, written by someone without very much credibility and it seems to show. Essentially encapsulates in 350 pages what one could do alone in 20 minutes of just thinking.”

“An intriguing read on why we are the way we are. Wish I had a better memory to retain all the fascinating points in the book. Will have to read it a second time to do justice to it. Highly recommend.”

“We've all heard of natural selection but I haven't had much exposure to the idea of sexual selection. I found this book to be a decent introduction to the idea for a lay person like myself. I was particularly intrigued by the idea of the large human brain being a result of sexual selection, sort of like a peacock's tail. Definitely not a fast read though.”

“Leaves you with a subtle understanding of sex in nature. Well well researched! Very interesting read. Gotta go through it slowly though. It tends to be very scientific and specific. Good read though.”

“This is by far the best book I have ever read. The pace of the book is perfect. The content really amazing, and so wonderfully wierd that leaves you asking "Could this be really true?" more on this later”
