{"product_id":"the-mating-mind-geoffrey-miller-9780385495172","title":"The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature","description":"\u003cb\u003eAt once a pioneering study of evolution and an accessible and lively reading experience, a book that offers the most convincing--and radical--explanation for how and why the human mind evolved. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Consciousness, morality, creativity, language, and art: these are the traits that make us human. Scientists have traditionally explained these qualities as merely a side effect of surplus brain size, but Miller argues that they were sexual attractors, not side effects. He bases his argument on Darwin' s theory of \u003ci\u003esexual \u003c\/i\u003eselection, which until now has played second fiddle to Darwin' s theory of \u003ci\u003enatural \u003c\/i\u003eselection, and draws on ideas and research from a wide range of fields, including psychology, economics, history, and pop culture. Witty, powerfully argued, and continually thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eThe Mating Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark in our understanding of our own species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 038549517X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385495172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.19w x 1.01d","brand":"Geoffrey Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044772933887,"sku":"9780385495172","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f50b98d1-2473-499f-b029-6e028b61e9f8.jpg?v=1684974803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mating-mind-geoffrey-miller-9780385495172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
