Darwin 101: teaser

There are many questions that women have struggled to answer about the opposite sex. Why do many men struggle with monogamy? Why the obsession with big breasts? Why would a man of fifty cheat on or leave his wife of decades for a girl barely out of her teens? If you believe the Darwinian psychologists, it all comes down to sex. That is, the body’s desire for sex, driven by our genes’ desire to be passed on through reproduction. Everything people do, every aspect of human nature, according to these evolution-based theories, comes down to natural selection. In other words, no matter how many millennia have passed in our evolutionary history, there are some habits that are just too hard to kick.
