Sexual Selection And the Descent of Man The Darwinian Pivot

Just over one hundred and thirty years ago Charles Darwin, in The Descentof Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), developed remarkably accurateconclusions about man's ancestry, based on a review of general comparativeanatomy and psychology in which he regarded sexual selection as a necessarypart of the evolutionary process. But the attention of biologists turned tothe more general concept of natural selection, in which sexual selectionplays a complex role that has been little understood. This volume significantlybroadens the scope of modern evolutionary biology by looking at this importantand long neglected concept of great importance.Campbell, Bernard Grant is the author of 'Sexual Selection And the Descent of Man The Darwinian Pivot', published 2006 under ISBN 9780202308456 and ISBN 0202308456.
