Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That?: And Other Reflections on Being Human by Jesse Bering

3.0

3.5/5 stars. Bering has a fun style that does a good job introducing psychological studies and concepts to a lay audience without ever being condescending towards the readers. As a scientist, I was naturally inclined to take most of these evolutionary psychology hypotheses with a grain of salt, but overall it was a fun read providing a look into some of the interesting hypotheses for various human phenomena that others have brought forth. Bering is also quite funny, which makes the book engaging and fun to read through.
