Description: Ian Tattersall reviews 'The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature' by Geoffrey F. Miller.
A psychologist looks at sexual attraction and what it means for humankind. How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature. o doubt about it: the human mind is one of nature's most remarkable products, if not by a long shot the most remarkable of all. And one of the mind's most singular attributes seems to be a deeply ingrained urge to tell stories, not least about itself and its own origins. For evidence of this one need look no farther than the raft of recent books, mostly by authors calling themselves ''evolutionary psychologists,'' that purport to explain every detail of human behavior by reference to the ''ancestral environment'' within which they suppose our minds and behaviors evolved. No matter how odd our behaviors may look today, it is claimed, they make sense in terms of our hunter-gatherer ancestry. It's just that the world has changed so fast that our genes have been unable to keep up.
