Description: At once a
pioneering study of evolution and an accessible and lively reading experience,
The Mating Mind marks the arrival of a prescient and provocative new science
writer. Psychologist Geoffrey Miller offers the most convincing–and
radical–explanation for how and why the human mind evolved.
Consciousness,
morality, creativity, language, and art: these are the traits that make us
human. Scientists have traditionally explained these qualities as merely a side
effect of surplus brain size, but Miller argues that they were sexual
attractors, not side effects. He bases his argument on Darwin’s theory of
sexual selection, which until now has played second fiddle to Darwin’s theory
of natural selection, and draws on ideas and research from a wide range of
fields, including psychology, economics, history, and pop culture. Witty,
powerfully argued, and continually thought-provoking, The Mating Mind is a
landmark in our understanding of our own species.
