Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan
How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships
This thought-provoking exploration delves into the evolutionary origins of human sexuality, challenging conventional beliefs about monogamy and sexual behavior. By examining anthropological, biological, and historical evidence, it argues that humans are naturally inclined towards promiscuity, much like our closest primate relatives. The book suggests that societal norms around monogamy are relatively recent constructs, shaped by agricultural and economic developments, rather than innate human tendencies. It invites readers to reconsider the nature of human relationships and the societal pressures that shape them.
