- Description
- Approaching the topic from biological and animal-studies perspectives, the author describes the history of sexual selection – from Darwin to sociobiology. She analyzes the animal-human continuum from the perspectives of sex, evolution, and behavior. She asks how social and cultural assumptions influence human-animal research and wonders about the implications of gender on scientific outcomes.
