So how "did" women get their curves? Why do they have breasts,
while other mammals only develop breast tissue while lactating, and
why do women menstruate, when virtually no other beings do so? What
are the reasons for female orgasm? Why are human females kept in
the dark about their own time of ovulation and maximum fertility,
and why are they the only animals to experience menopause?
David P. Barash and Judith Eve Lipton, coauthors of acclaimed
books on human sexuality and gender, discuss the theories
scientists have advanced to explain these evolutionary enigmas
(sometimes called "Just-So stories" by their detractors) and
present hypotheses of their own. Some scientific theories are based
on legitimate empirical data, while others are pure speculation.
Barash and Lipton distinguish between what is solid and what
remains uncertain, skillfully incorporating their expert knowledge
of biology, psychology, animal behavior, anthropology, and human
sexuality into their entertaining critiques. Inviting readers to
examine the evidence and draw their own conclusions, Barash and
Lipton tell an evolutionary suspense story that captures the
excitement and thrill of true scientific detection.
