- Description
- The author explores the role of women in evolutionary theory. She argues that selection pressures have shaped the female mind over many generations: their emotions, friendship, competition, aggression and mate choice. She deals with questions such as if women were designed for monogamy or promiscuity: what women compete for: if contraception and IVF subverted the process of natural selection. New to this edition: the role of oxytocin in female partner-directed aggression: an analysis of women and mental health disorders and the relationship this has with women's levels of aggression: expanded sections on sexual conflict, the individual differences between women and culture and gene-culture evolution. First ed.: 2002
