Books like The Mating Mind by Geoffrey Miller


Evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller explains the evolutionary power of sexual choice and the reasons why our ancestors became attracted not only to pretty faces and healthy bodies, but to minds that were witty, articulate, generous, and conscious. Drawing on new ideas from evolutionary biology, economics, and psychology, Miller illuminates his arguments with examples ranging from New Guinea's bowerbirds to the sexual charisma of South Park's school chef. Along the way, he provides insights into the inarticulacy of teenage boys, the diversity of ancient Greek coins, the reasons why Scrooge was single, the difficulties of engaging with modern art, and the function of sumo wrestling.
