    The evolutionary psychology of women

    by Anne Campbell ...
    When Darwin proposed that females shape evolution by being choosy in their choice of male suitors, his Victorian contemporaries were shocked that he accorded so much importance to women.

Recent years have shown that the inert 'coy female' is a myth. For a ... Read more
