Book
Lynn Saxon · 2012
A critical examination of Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá's 'Sex at Dawn,' challenging their claims about ancestral human sexuality and monogamy through evolutionary biology evidence. Saxon presents corrections to what she views as distortions and errors in their argument that humans are naturally promiscuous rather than monogamous.

Narrative Intelligence sources live outside the figurative image sequence ladder. Adaptive placement applies to image sequences, not this reading library.
What this book knows
Evolutionary biology dismantles Sex at Dawn's promiscuity thesis, revealing female selectivity and pair-bonding as genuine human adaptations.
desire
Has there been some false story-telling about pair-bonding in our evolution used to support a false argument for a natural nuclear family unit?
SDLS-RC-005Is sex a need like food? Organisms do not die from the lack of sex — but the future of their genes does.
SDLS-RC-007Some have become over excited and sought to show female sexuality as being as indiscriminate as it can often be in the male.
SDLS-RC-024Only with lifetime sexual monogamy can the interests of both parents fully align.
SDLS-RC-021self-and-identity
The 'coy' female passively accepting the winning male was as far as female sexual behaviour could go to be acceptable.
SDLS-RC-011Ryan and Jethá's mockery of Darwin and natural selection is not obviously distinguishable from an attack on natural selection itself.
