A 'back to basics' discussion of sex and reproduction that explores what evolutionary advantages there are to sexual reproduction, why species vary so widely in their mating practices, and what larger functions these practices serve. How humans and other animals choose their mates is explored.
In Sexual Selection , James and Carol Gould survey the many mating systems and strategies practised by species ranging from microorganisms through insects and birds to humans. The authors begin by questioning why sex is necessary and present the most popular theories that attempt to explain, "Why sex?" "The Goulds write clearly yet with authority...Their book will do nicely for students and others with an interest in the subject." Nature
