为什么值得读
- 颠覆对核心家庭与长期一夫一妻制的认知
- 揭示人类与倭黑猩猩在性与群体行为上的相似
- 探讨农耕前由群体共同抚育后代的演化历史
“一本充满争议、以思想驱动的著作，挑战你对性、婚姻、家庭与社会的一切固有认知”——出版商如是说。自 Darwin 时代以来，我们一直被灌输一种观念：性单一配偶制是人类物种的天性。但这套叙事正在走向崩溃。在这本书中，特立独行的思想家 Christopher Ryan 和 Cacilda Jethá 颠覆了我们对性所“了解”的几乎一切，并提出了一种大胆的替代解释。Ryan 和 Jethá 的核心观点是，人类是在平均主义群体中演化而来的，彼此共享食物、育儿责任，而且往往还共享性伴侣。他们将汇聚一堂、往往

虽然核心家庭在大部分有文字记载的历史中最为普遍，但自从读了《源氏性爱》（Sex at Dawn）和几本相关书籍后，我开始相信在人类历史的大部分时间里——也就是农业出现之前的数十万年间——我们都生活在所有成年人共同抚育所有……的社群中。
While the nuclear family most common for most of recorded history, since reading Sex at Dawn and a few related books, I've come to believe that for most of human history -- that is, hundreds of thousands of years before agriculture -- we lived in communities where all adults helped raise all…
……为你这个决定点赞。有一本书讲的是婚姻、长期一夫一妻制，并且（至少对我而言）它表明，性也许根本不该像我们现在搞得这么大惊小怪。这本书就是克里斯托弗·莱恩和卡西尔达·杰瑟写的《源氏性爱》（Sex at Dawn）。
…Kudos to you for your decision. A book was written about marriage, long term monogamy, and (at least for me) showed that maybe sex shouldn't be this huge deal we currently make it out to be. It's called Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha.
我强烈建议读读《源氏性爱》（Sex at Dawn）[1]。关于人类性行为，它是一本令人惊叹的颠覆认知之作。简而言之，它（在我看来很有说服力地）指出现代社会关于择偶和家庭的说辞大错特错，并且……
I highly encourage reading Sex at Dawn [1]. It's an amazing paradigm-shifter regarding human sexuality. In a nutshell, it (convincingly, IMHO) argues that the modern story society tells itself about mating and family is dead wrong, and that…

确实。倭黑猩猩与人类的亲缘关系更近。在《源氏性爱》（Sex at Dawn）这本书里，有一些关于人类在性行为（以及整体群居行为）上与倭黑猩猩关联的极其迷人的信息。强烈推荐。
True. Bonobos are more closely related to humans. There's some incredibly fascinating information about how humans are related to bonobos in sexual behavior (and overall communal behavior) in the book Sex at Dawn. Highly recommended.
……先信自己愿意信的。Harari 也一样。那本书里错的东西比对的还多，除了那些人们本来就该知道的基本事实。Christopher Ryan（《文明到死亡》和《黎明时的性》的作者）深入探讨了《人类简史》提出的少数几个有说服力的观点，而且没有《人类简史》里那些虚伪和天真的哲学。
…believe whatever they want to first. Including Harari. There's more wrong in that book than there is right, aside from basic facts that people should already know. Chriatopher Ryan (Civilized to Death & Sex at Dawn) explores the few compelling points made by Sapiens in depth and without all of the disingenuity and naive philosphy present in Sapiens.
