Scientists have traditionally explained  these qualities as merely a side effect of surplus brain size, but Miller argues  that they were sexual attractors, not side effects. He bases his argument on Darwin’ s theory of \u003ci\u003esexual \u003c\/i\u003eselection, which until now has played second fiddle to Darwin’ s theory of \u003ci\u003enatural \u003c\/i\u003eselection, and draws on ideas and research from a wide range  of fields, including psychology, economics, history, and pop culture. Witty, powerfully  argued, and continually thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eThe Mating Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark in our understanding  of our own species.","brand":"Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49525104476503,"sku":"9780385495172","price":16.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780385495172.jpg?v=1731859234","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-mating-mind-9780385495172","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
