Expand your knowledgewith theories and concepts that may challenge
your assumptions about sexual attraction Human sexuality can be
better understood by knowing how sexual psychologies may have
evolved throughout the ages. Handbook of the Evolution of Human
Sexuality presents a detailed examination of human sexuality, the
assumptions about concepts and terms pertaining to sexuality, and
the latest theories on the evolution of human sexual attraction.
Leading experts explore various aspects of evolutionary theory,
with a focus on Evolutionary Psychology (EP). Discussions include
mate preferences, mating behavior, mate signaling, pheromones, and
same-sex attraction. This comprehensive source also presents three
groundbreaking theories of the evolution of same-sex attraction.
Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality takes current
assumptions about human sexuality, explains each in turn, and then
offers fresh perspectives on conventional concepts of sexual
orientation. This extensive resource provides ample evidence to
argue that researchers should investigate sexual relationships
based on a person's characteristics such as personal traits,
complementary roles/status, sexual acts, or situational context
rather than simply the sex of the partner. The book provides a
discussion of evolutionary theory, evolution of human sexual
culture, evolution of sexual pleasure, and detailed analysis of
assumptions about sexual orientation. The text is carefully
referenced. Some of the topics explored by Handbook of the
Evolution of Human Sexuality include: links to non-human primate
sexual behaviors and the emergence of human (sexual) nature EP
research on consensual adult human sexual behaviors studies of
evolved male and female mating strategies, mate preferences, and
sexual psychologies a brief history of the theory of evolution
