No one has ever managed to explain the origin of the mind in a coherent way. In this conceptual book, evolutionary psychologist Jeffrey Miller presents his original idea to the public — a theory of the origin of unique human mental abilities through sexual selection. The author believes that the key mechanism of selection is the choice of a sexual partner, which was carried out by prehistoric hominids and is still carried out by us, modern men and women. Complex language, morality, art, and charity are very expensive for an individual and do not contribute to its survival. But they contribute to its reproduction: these are the most reliable indicators of genetic well-being that can be presented on the marriage market. Miller's arguments are scientific, elegant, and figurative. If you dreamed of taking a frank interview with a bowerbird and seeing the hunt of Pleistocene hominids through the eyes of a mammoth, realizing the political incorrectness of evolution and the antiquity of "designer" childbirth, this book is definitely for you.
