The Mating Game : In Search of the Meaning of Sex

The Mating Game : In Search of the Meaning of Sex - Thryft
The Mating Game : In Search of the Meaning of Sex - Thryft

Understanding sex through evolutionary analysis.

The Mating Game would be a good read for those interested in a scientific and evolutionary perspective on sex and relationships. The book delves into the biological basis of sexuality and provides a profound analysis of how our understanding of evolution can inform our understanding of sex. The book's unique proposition regarding male evolution provides an interesting and thought-provoking perspective.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

We share so much of our genetic material with other apes and it is clear that, like other species alive on earth today, we have evolved by the Darwinian process of natural selection. We can therefore learn about our own sexuality by looking at how sex "works" in other species. Gribbin and Cherfas put forward the challenging theory that males have outlived their evolutionary usefulness and include discussion of ideas such as the "red queen effect" (the need to run as fast as possible, in evolutionary terms, in order to stay in the same place) and the growing resistance bacteria have evolved to widely used drugs.
