hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

A good, fascinating read about human sexual history, the sociocultural evolution of monogamy, and basically all the ways scandalized Victorian scientists made very unscientific hypothesis about gender, sexuality, and how "natural" monogamy is for humans. It also has fascinating implications for human patterns of cooperation vs warfare with comparisons of chimpanzees vs bonobos, something that really did change the way I look at humanity as a whole—for the better.
