| 520 | |a "Now in a third edition, this authoritative text Male, Female evaluates foundational and recent scholarship on the evolution of human sex differences, including how men and women differ in modern contexts. In comprehensive detail, David C. Geary describes how men and women differ based on evolutionary principles, how human sex differences are similar to those found in other species, and how the expression of these differences is uniquely human. He shows how the principles of sexual selection--such as female choice and male-male companion--explain sex differences in parenting, mate choices, ways of competing for mates, social-political preferences, development, the brain, and cognition. Far from being one-sided in the nature-versus-nurture debate, Geary presents an evolutionary framework that incorporates the influence of experience and cultural context on the development and expression of sex differences. Thoroughly updated and expanded, this third edition adds a chapter on sex differences that emerge in modern contexts, like occupational choices, variation in sexual orientation, gender identity, and relationships. Scholars from a wide range of sciences have much to learn from this monumental volume." --Descripción del editor. | ||
