Book Excerpt

It's true the world over; it's almost always men who pay for dates. We take it for granted but...it could, theoretically, be women who usually pay. Why not? (p35) Maybe the pope and the mullahs and leaders of churches should hold an international conference to talk with evolutionary biologists about why humans have so much sex when pregnancy is impossible and to discuss social bonding.....and the many other natural purposes of sex.(p73) Anthropologist Irven De Vore has pointed out that males are a breeding experiment run by females. Because of female choice males have been largely designed by females. (p41) It has been scientifically proven again and again that genes play a major role in determining whether adults turn out to be religious.(p177) (Evolutionary psychology) explains even why shorter presidential candidates rarely win, why women favor tall suitors, why we use words like 'depression' and why bishops are usually taller than parish priests. (p88) So when should children start learning about evolution? Isn't evolution the most important scientific discovery of all time? Didn't Darwin show us how to scientifically answer why questions about life?
