Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior

Peter B. Gray

Justin R. Garcia

“I am convinced this book will become a classic, and I don’t use this term lightly. It is a superb overview and synthesis of the literature, along with discussion of the newest data from a remarkably wide range of academic disciplines. I am impressed.”—Helen Fisher, Ph.D., Biological Anthropologist and Research Professor, Rutgers University

“In addition to excellent writing, this book is appropriately and impressively thorough—including a great amount of cutting-edge research. Further, this book is deeply integrative in its disciplinary scope. It includes research from physiologists, cross-cultural anthropologists, social psychologists, historians, and more. The scholars are masters of interdisciplinary work—and this fact emerges clearly and effectively in this book.”—Glenn Geher, Ph.D., Director of Evolutionary Studies and Professor of Psychology, SUNY New Paltz

“A great integration of animal evidence and habits from a wide variety of species, in discussions ranging from the mechanisms of romantic attraction, to comparisons between bonobo and human sexual play during development, to digit length comparisons in rats and human beings linked to hormone exposures that may in turn be linked to sexual orientation. A marvelous contribution.”—Elisabeth Lloyd, Ph.D., Arnold and Maxine Tanis Chair of History and Philosophy of Science, Indiana University

“Comprehensive and charming, Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior is bound to become a classic. A fine starting point for productive debates.”—Elaine Hatfield, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of Hawai’i
