In Sexual Strategies, science journalist Mary Batten presents a provocative exploration of female/male behavior in the animal kingdom and its powerful implications for human relationships. Female mate choice is a powerful force in evolution. The way females choose their mates influences how males act and how they behave. Why do women and men lie to each other? Why do many men try to control women? Why do women and men have different sexual fantasies? Why are so many women attracted to wealthy, powerful men? What does male violence have to do with female mate choice? Science acknowledges that much of human behavior is influenced by biology as well as culture. Human reproductive strategies in particular have come to look more like those of the birds and bees than anyone imagined.
