Summary
“Sex at Dawn challenges conventional wisdom about
sex in a big way. By examining the prehistoric origins of
human sexual behavior the authors are able to expose the
fallacies and weaknesses of standard theories proposed by
most experts. This is a provocative, entertaining, and
pioneering book. I learned a lot from it and recommend it
highly.” — Andrew Weil, M.D. “Sex at
Dawn irrefutably shows that what is obvious—that human
beings, both male and female, are lustful—is true, and
has always been so…. The more dubious its evidentiary
basis and lack of connection with current reality, the more
ardently the scientific inevitability of monogamy is
maintained—even as it falls away around us.”
— Stanton Peele, Ph.D. A controversial, idea-driven
book that challenges everything you (think you) know about
sex, monogamy, marriage, and family. In the words of Steve
Taylor (The Fall, Waking From Sleep), Sex at Dawn is “a
wonderfully provocative and well-written book which
completely re-evaluates human sexual behavior and gets to the
root of many of our social and psychological ills.”
