I came by this author on a Sam Harris podcast recently 。 This is a really fascinating book。 The title is dramatic （and probably effective， clickbait and all） but genuinely speaking this is really different。 It's essentially a biology book。 It dives into the evolutionary origins of how relationships form， how people evaluate potential mates， and then， as the title suggests， how those biological drivers inform a lot of the suffering we see in terms of sexual assault。 This will be confronting， jarr I came by this author on a Sam Harris podcast recently 。 This is a really fascinating book。 The title is dramatic （and probably effective， clickbait and all） but genuinely speaking this is really different。 It's essentially a biology book。 It dives into the evolutionary origins of how relationships form， how people evaluate potential mates， and then， as the title suggests， how those biological drivers inform a lot of the suffering we see in terms of sexual assault。 This will be confronting， jarring and thought provoking to read。 Which is why it's so fascinating。 。。。more

This is a thought provoking look at human sexual behaviour through the lens of evolutionary adaptations。 While I found much of the conclusions confronting and even disquieting， it was definitely a helpful process to view human behaviour through this different perspective。 David peels away the moral compass and removes cultural practices to consider why men and women behave the way they do。 There are some very useful insights such as men's propensity to over perceive women's interests and intenti This is a thought provoking look at human sexual behaviour through the lens of evolutionary adaptations。 While I found much of the conclusions confronting and even disquieting， it was definitely a helpful process to view human behaviour through this different perspective。 David peels away the moral compass and removes cultural practices to consider why men and women behave the way they do。 There are some very useful insights such as men's propensity to over perceive women's interests and intentions。 He had some useful suggestions to avoid sexual coercion。 But overall the book left me feeling somewhat dismayed and perhaps even a little hopeless。 It's not for the feint-hearted， not a light read， but definitely something to learn。 。。。more
