The Mating Mind How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature By: Geoffrey Miller Publisher: Anchor Print ISBN: 9780385495172, 038549517X eText ISBN: 9780307813749, 0307813746 Format: EPUB Available from $ 14.99 USD SKU 9780307813749 For Sale in US* Only At once a pioneering study of evolution and an accessible and lively reading experience, The Mating Mind marks the arrival of a prescient and provocative new science writer. Psychologist Geoffrey Miller offers the most convincing–and radical–explanation for how and why the human mind evolved. Consciousness, morality, creativity, language, and art: these are the traits that make us human. Scientists have traditionally explained these qualities as merely a side effect of surplus brain size, but Miller argues that they were sexual attractors, not side effects. He bases his argument on Darwin’ s theory of sexual selection, which until now has played second fiddle to Darwin’ s theory of natural selection, and draws on ideas and research from a wide range of fields, including psychology, economics, history, and pop culture. Witty, powerfully argued, and continually thought-provoking, The Mating Mind is a landmark in our understanding of our own species. Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/4Ik62d
