ughgarden's unique and forceful vision issues a timely, cogent challenge to the predominant world view that selfishness and conflict are the norm in adaptive evolution."--Michael J. Wade, coauthor of "Mating Systems and Strategies"
"No other book offers such a sustained argument against sexual selection theory and provides such a compelling alternative--substantively important and exciting."--Jonathan Kaplan, coauthor of "Making Sense of Evolution"
"This may be the most important book, philosophically speaking, on evolutionary theory in a decade.
