The Mating Mind
How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature
Geoffrey Miller
This groundbreaking book explores the evolution of the human mind through consciousness, morality, creativity, language, and art. The author challenges traditional explanations, arguing that these qualities were sexual attractors, not side effects. Drawing on Darwin's theory of sexual selection and research from various fields, this witty and thought-provoking read offers a radical perspective on our understanding of humanity.
