While Darwinian natural selection can explain the evolution of most life on earth, it has never seemed fully adequate to explain the aspects of our minds that seem most uniquely and profoundly human - art, morality, consciousness, creativity and language. Yet these aspects of human nature need not remain evolutionary mysteries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil fairly recently most biologists have ignored or rejected Darwin''s claims for the other great force of evolution - sexual selection through mate choice, which favours traits simply because they prove attractive to the opposite sex. But over recent years biologists have taken up Darwin''s insights into how the reproduction of the sexiest is as much a focus of evolution as the survival of the fittest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWitty, powerfully-argued and continually thought-provoking, Miller''s cascade of ideas bears comparison with such critical books as Richard Dawkins'' \u003ci\u003eThe Selfish Gene\u003c\/i\u003e and Steven Pinker''s \u003ci\u003eThe Language Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt is a landmark in our understanding of our own species.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320196407678,"sku":"NW9780099288244","price":11.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780099288244.jpg?v=1778237250","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/mating-mind","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
