Quotes

• “Put another way, the chimpanzees' closest relative is not the gorilla but humans.”
• “How can we explain simultaneously this general pattern of female parental care and also its numerous exceptions?The answer comes from the realization that genes for behavior, as well as for malaria resistance and teeth, are subject to natural selection.”
• “Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
• “Our sex is ultimately laid down by our genes.”
• “Perhaps our greatest distinction as a species is our capacity, unique among animals, to make counter-evolutionary choices.”
• “Behavior evolves through natural selection, just as anatomy does. Hence if sex is enjoyable, natural selection must have been responsible for that outcome.”
