Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People by Joan Roughgarden

3.0

Roughgarden is incredibly biased, and she admits as much from the get-go. Nonetheless, there were many moments during this book that her clear sense of bias made me question the validity of the claims she was making. Some chapters in particular seemed to be included so that she could share her opinions on a given topic that didn't necessarily feel as if it contributed to her overall arguments.

This book is dense and she covers a lot of ground. It's a good read, but be sure to get a degree in biology first. Some of the information in here and really important and I hope that someday a more accessible version of this material is published.
