The list includes phenomena such as sexual reproduction, the sperm/egg binary, male/female bodies, sex roles, sexual conflict, monogamy, homosexuality, the human brain, and human rape. According to Roughgarden, all answers in the neo-Darwinian sexual selection theory ultimately derive from a common view of natural behavior predicated on the selfish-gene concept, competition, and deception, whereas the Social-Selection theory ultimately derives from teamwork, honesty, and genetic equality."<br /><br />I didn't read this book, but I did read Roughgarden's book Evolution's Rainbow and she made, to me, a compelling argument for the importance of cooperation in evolution. A lot of scientists disagree, however, a lot.Wendy Casterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736636055295848483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567551886916883231.post-20325945096303155462011-03-28T16:42:44.886-04:002011-03-28T16:42:44.886-04:00Typos be damned.
