      title = {The evolution of beauty : how Darwin's forgotten theory of  mate choice shapes the animal world-- and us /},
      abstract = {What can explain the incredible diversity of beauty in  nature? Richard O. Prum, an award-winning ornithologist,  discusses Charles Darwin's second and long-neglected  theory--aesthetic mate choice--and what it means for our  understanding of evolution. In addition, Prum connects  those same evolutionary dynamics to the origins and  diversity of human sexuality, offering riveting new  thinking about the evolution of human beauty and the role  of mate choice, thereby transforming our ancestors from  typical infanticidal primates into socially intelligent,  pair-bonding caregivers. Prum's book is an exhilarating  tour de force that begins in the trees and ends by  fundamentally challenging how we understand human evolution  and ourselves. --},
