Mills analyzes the biological basis of sex by considering genetic, physiological, and evolutionary principles. In order to explain the biological aspects of human sex, he uses direct and intriguing comparisons with the many variations in sexual systems among non-human organisms. Text boxes provide fascinating examples: non-human species that cannibalize their partners during copulation, organisms that do not fall within one of two biological sexes, and species that \"trick\" others into raising their young. The author also explores questions such as: \"Is sex only for reproduction?\", \"Why is sex pleasurable?\", and \"What are the roots of sexual conflict?\" Intended primarily for readers without a science background, \u003cem\u003eBiology of Sex\u003c\/em\u003e provides novel content from the human and non-human worlds to introduce the complex subject of sex and reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Mills\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487593376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487593377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Alex Mills","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136287625471,"sku":"9781487593377","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_134e606e-5cbb-425d-9b48-ee646232f2f5.jpg?v=1726416233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biology-of-sex-alex-mills-9781487593377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
