Customer Reviews

Powerful concept

The Sex Contract does a great job of developing a novel concept for the development of human intelligence via pair bonding and mutual assistance. It examins cooperative development as a competitive stratigy in early hominids. It builds a compelling argument for the strong development of social stratigy in the success of the species. Well written with a broad appeal for serious behaviorial scientists as well as sutdents of the human condition.

The origin of our behavior

Never a book has helped me understand the very nature of human behavior like "The sex Contract". It deals with the essence and origin of our acts and thoughts: sexual differences. A great book!
