为什么值得读

  • 聚焦精子竞争在演化生物学中的作用
  • 剖析性作为社会驱动力的演化机制
  • 颠覆对人类行为模式的既有认知

“通过一系列涉及某种形式性接触的虚构场景,随后从进化生物学家的角度对该行为进行解读,”作者解释了“旧的程序如何[驱使]性行为,而这种行为往往与……理性计划相冲突。”——护封。

  • 《自私的基因》- 理查德·道金斯(进化)《红色皇后》- 马特·里德利(性与进化)《精子战争》(Sperm Wars)- 罗宾·贝克(性作为社会驱动力)这几本书要是按这个顺序读下来,能为你拼凑出一幅关于人类社会进化及其核心驱动力的完整图景。

  • 《自私的基因》(Richard Dawkins);《红色皇后》(Matt Ridley);《精子战争》(Robin Baker);按这个顺序读下来,这些书能解释我们社会和日常生活中发生的绝大部分事情。这让我能够清晰剖析自己以及他人的行为与动机。

    …course exceptions )that female primates, including humans, respond sexually favorably toward high status behavior on the part of males. The Red Queen is a good book, but there are countless others. Sperm Wars, Sex At Dawn, The Evolution of Desire, and myriad academic papers that these books reference, paint a very clear picture of female sexuality that few will ever want to believe. n=1 is irrelevant in this…

  • ……觉得这基本上完美反映了你对这个领域的态度:压根连这本书都没读过,就假装自己懂它讲什么,顺带着鄙视整个进化心理学分支。《精子战争》(Sperm Wars)是我这辈子最受震撼的书之一,它彻底打碎了我对人类行为动机的许多固有成见。别光看书名就下定论。而且它的核心论点是……

    …think this pretty much seems up your attitude towards that field: Without ever having read said book, I pretend to know what it's about and therefore deride the whole subfield of evolutionary psychology. Sperm Wars is one of the books that has blown me away the most in my life, as it changed so many preconceived notions on why humans act the way they do. Please don't judge a book by its cover. And its thesis is…

  • 强烈推荐《精子战争》(Sperm Wars)。挺有意思的是,我是在 Tucker Max 的书单里被安利这本书的,而他正是文中所附链接那篇《The New Dating Game》文章的主角。

    Highly recommend Sperm Wars. Interestingly, it was recommended to me from Tucker Max's reading list, who is the topic of the linked "The New Dating Game" article.
