Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray by Helen Fisher

2.0

Other than a few concrete monkey facts and divorce rate stats, this book is speculative storytelling all the way through. Fisher spins some elaborate yarns about sex and gender roles in early humans based on "data" like a few tools found on a riverbank, serious theorizing presented like facts. Furthermore, the evolutionary gender roles she attributes to estrogen and testosterone are absurd and unsupported by anything concrete, but she fights for them through many chapters.
