SEX, GENES AND ROCK N ROLL: HOW EVOLUTION HAS SHAPED THE MODERN WORLD
Book ID/图书代码: 13600010B40218
English Summary/英文概要: Evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks argues that the origins of these twenty-first century problems can be found where the ancient forces of evolution collide with modern culture and economics.
In Sex, Genes and Rock ’n’ Roll Brooks explores a tasting platter of topics, from the frivolous to the tragic – falling in love, making music, our obsession with rock ’n’ roll, sexual conflict, fertility, obesity, consumption, ageing and more – illustrating how evolution stands alongside economics, anthropology, psychology and political science in shaping our world.
