In 1979 Donald Symons wrote The Evolution of Human Sexuality, one of the most provocative books ever written about why people want sex. Over forty years on, this book goes back through it claim by claim to see what has held up.
Some of it stands up better than its critics expect, and some of it really doesn't, including the story about concealed ovulation and the way it handled women's desire. It isn't a defence of evolutionary psychology or an attack on it. Think of it as a careful stress test with a running scorecard.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (146 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
