The evolution of human sexuality: from prehistoric times to the present day.
Bestseller book translated into 18 languages!
In the traditions of the best historical and scientific works, this book is unceremoniously and reasonably dealt with unreasonable assumptions and erroneous conclusions in matters of evolution of human sexuality, offering a revolutionary explanation of why we live today and love this way, and not otherwise.
"Funny, smart and light ... Scandal book in the best sense of the word that will make you re-read out loud your favorite places and, quite possibly, as a result, your ideas about the most fundamental features of human nature." - Newsweek
"Everything that you seemed to know about sex, turns upside down. A bold and direct reassessment of a huge amount of scientific information, which highlights the true origin and nature of human sexuality. A easily and fascinatingly written, magnificent book that explores the facts that are standing behind what many have long guessed: a person is not a monogamous creature. " - Julia Holland, doctor of medicine, author "weekend in Belveva"
I was not at all surprised when in the United States "sex at dawn" immediately became a bestseller. There is nothing surprising for me in the fact that after four years after publication, the book of Chris and Kasilda continues to attract the attention of both serious researchers and people who simply want to figure out what this animal named Homo Sapiens is.
The book "Sex at the dawn" was awarded prestigious awards in the United States and was currently translated into eighteen languages. Like any book that encroaches on sacred and inviolable cultural beliefs, the work of Chris and Kasilda provoked a flurry of passionate criticism - both from academic audiences and cabinets, and from church departments.
"Sex at the dawn" challenges the reader, forcing him to reconsider the most deep beliefs about his own life experience and the origins of our intellectual and psychological blind spots. Work on this topic can be so science -shaped that it is quite difficult to read. However, "sex at dawn" in this sense is rather a pleasant exception: reading a book is a continuous pleasure. The style of its presentation is light and fascinating, it contains a description of many interesting cultural phenomena and a significant share of humor. " - Stanley Krippner, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor of Psychology of Sabruk University
Since the time of Darwin we have been taught that sexual monogamy is inherent in our appearance by nature. Official science - along with religion and cultural institutions - confirms that men and women evolved in families where property and protection - men"s attributes - exchanged for female fertility and fidelity. But this theory does not withstand criticism and continues to slowly, but irreversibly collapse. More and less pairs make marriages, and the level of divorces grows as marital treason and decline in sexual attraction destroy even the most - at first glance - happy and indestructible families.
How to reconcile this anxious reality with generally accepted views? This is impossible, according to non-conformist thinkers Christopher Ryan and Kasilda Zhet. Delassing everything that we "know" about sex, they offer a bold alternative explanation in this brilliant and impudent book.
The main subject of the discussion, according to Ryan and has, is that human beings evolved in groups where equal rights reigned, where all members of the community shared each other, shared the care of children - and often sexual partners. Weaving together facts from anthropology, archeology, primatology, anatomy and psychosexology, which many researchers prefer not to pay attention to - although they indicate in one direction - the authors demonstrate how far monogamy is from human nature. In different places and in different eras, people behaved in the same intimate situations surprisingly differently. The authors dig the ancient roots of human sexuality and at the same time look forward, in a brighter future, illuminated by all the ability to love, cooperation and generosity.
Smart, witty and excitingly settling their point of view, Ryan and a toe show how our sexual past, which can be determined by one simple term: "promiscuity", haunts us in our desperate struggle for monogamy, conflicts around the question of sexual orientation And inevitable changes at the Institute of Family. They examine why long -term fidelity is so difficult for so many people, why sexual passion fades away, even if love becomes deeper over the years, why so many middle -aged men are ready to risk everything for fleeting intrigues with younger women, why homosexuality does not disappear contrary to standard evolutionary logic And what does the human body say about the prehistoric origins of modern sexuality.
