The Red Queen

Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature

Matt Ridley

The Red Queen, inspired by the Lewis Carroll character, explores why sex is humanity's best strategy against mutating internal threats. Matt Ridley explores various riddles of human nature, including why men propose and why beauty standards are maddening. The book also dives into the surprising fact that women are more likely to conceive a child through adultery. The Red Queen offers a brilliant new perspective on the human condition and its evolution.
