The Lovemaking Brain: How the Process of Finding a Mate Determined Human Nature.

Darwin's Origin of Species changed the course of science as soon as it was published.
However, Darwin's second book, The Descent of Man, in which he explains sexual selection, was accepted with a delay of almost a century. The Making Love Brain summarizes the modern version of Darwin's theory of sexual selection, offering the most convincing and radical explanation yet for how and why the human mind evolved. According to this theory, the process of finding a mate lies at the basis of all mental activities, from peacock tails to birds' songs, from people's cultural creations to science. The reason some of our traits are particularly attractive is that they signal a potential mate's adaptability.

“A book written with mastery and meticulousness; "It lays the foundations of a new and shocking scientific theory."
–Matt Ridley

“An important study that reveals in full detail the role of sexual selection in the evolution of the mind.”
–John Constable, University of Cambridge Psychology, Evolution and Gender Studies
