为什么值得读
- 从进化生物学深入解析男女择偶心理
- 为人类社交与行为提供扎实的进化论解释
两个引人入胜的问题构成了 The Red Queen 的核心：为什么 Homo sapiens 是一个有性生殖物种，这对人性又意味着什么？人类具有性征看似寻常，但实际上并非所有动植物都需要通过有性生殖来繁衍；许多动物采用简单的克隆繁殖，效率反而高得多。要理解生命是如何演化的，以及性为人类带来了何种益处，我们必须像 Lewis Carroll 笔下 Through the Looking-Glass 里的 Red Queen 那样思考——她必须不断奔跑才能保持在原地。根据一个虽具争议却颇具说服力的新理论

如果你想开始了解这个话题，我推荐《红皇后》。简而言之：男人挑伴侣主要看长相；女人挑伴侣更多看社会地位。释放出低社会地位的信号会降低男性的吸引力；……
I recommend The Red Queen if you want to start learning about this. The short answer: men largely choose mates based on looks; women choose based more on social status. Signalling low social status reduces male attractiveness;…
那些给我点踩的人，应该先把政治正确那一套放一边，考虑读读关于性演化的书。比如马特·里德利的《红皇后：性与人性的演化》，以及杰弗里·米勒的《交配心智：性的选择如何塑造了人性的演化》。你们所有的一厢情愿，都绝不可能让女人……
Those of you who downgrade my comment should put that PC stuff aside, and consider reading about the evolution of sexuality. Such as "The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature" by Matt Ridley, and "The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature" by Geoffrey Miller. All your wishful thinking will never make women…
马特·里德利的《红皇后》这本书深入探讨了男女如何选择伴侣，主要基于演化生物学。现在大家都把女人根据财富挑选男人当成一种性格缺陷，并且……
The book "The Red Queen" by Matt Ridley goes into depth about how men and women choose their mates, based largely on evolutionary biology. People treat it like a character flaw for a woman to choose a man based on wealth and…
……生存。这是一个深刻的理论，因为它为人类的社会化和行为假设了非常坚实的演化基础。正如罗伯特·赖特的《道德动物》和马特·里德利的《红皇后》等诸多著作中所讨论的那样，近期的证据让道金斯的“延伸表现型”理论显得极其可信。因此，如果我们从宗教是一种最大化……的行为集合这个视角来分析它的话，
…survival. This is a profound theory, because it posits a very strong evolutionary foundation for human socialization and behaviour. As discussed in Robert Wright's "A Moral Animal", and Matt Ridley's "The Red Queen", among many other works, recent evidence has made Dawkins' extended phenotype theory extremely plausible. Thus, if we are to analyse religion from the view that it is a set of behaviours which maximizes…

……对书中的观点相当怀疑，至少对那个帖子里总结的那些是怀疑的。所以这篇书评让我觉得很有意思。（不过我跟发帖的人没有任何关系。）我依然向任何对这个主题感兴趣的人推荐马特·里德利的《红皇后》。
…was pretty skeptical of the book's claims, at least as they were summarized in that thread. So this review was interesting to me. (I had nothing to do with the submission though.) I still recommend The Red Queen by Matt Ridley to anyone interested in this subject.
