      abstract = {Attraction, mating, reproduction: it is a given that as a  species, human beings are concerned with sex. And whether  the study compares sexual behaviors of men and women or  considers the proportions between nature and nurture, most  roads lead back to our distant ancestors and/or our fellow  animals. The Evolution of Sexuality collects stimulating  new empirical findings and theoretical concepts regarding  both familiar themes and emerging areas of interest.  Following earlier titles in this series, an  interdisciplinary panel of contributors examines topics  specific to the whys of male and female sex-related  behavior, here ranging from biological bases for male  same-sex attraction to the seemingly elusive purpose of the  female orgasm. This vantage point between biology and  psychology gives readers profound insights not just into  human differences and similarities, but also why they  continue to matter despite our vast understanding of  culture and socialization. And intriguing dispatches from  the humanities review sexual themes in classic works of  literature and explore the role of parent-offspring  conflict in the English Revolution of the seventeenth  century. Among the topics covered: Sexual conflict and  evolutionary psychology: toward a unified framework.  Assortative mating, caste, and class. The functional design  and phylogeny of female sexuality. Is oral sex a form of  mate retention behavior? Two behavioral hypotheses for the  evolution or male homosexuality in humans. Sperm  competition and the evolution of human sexuality. The  Evolution of Sexuality will attract evolutionary scientists  across a variety of disciplines. Faculty, graduate and  undergraduate students, and researchers interested in  sexuality will find it a springboard for discussion,  debate, and further study.},
