The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin’s Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World – and Us

byRichard O. Prum

Focused on how Darwin’s Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World: and Us, The Evolution of Beauty brings Richard O. Prum's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of health & fitness and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make The Evolution of Beauty an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
