Kundenrezensionen
So, if you want to see the spicy sections only, this is your book, but if you buy "The Third Chimpanzee" you get a fuller picture and all the hot topics as well.
Philipp Schaumann Singapore
Worry not. This book does not address the issue of "fun." This is a serious tract having to do with evolutionary biology and sociobiology. It does contain such a given as "Human sex is mostly for fun, not for insemination," but that is about as far as it goes on the "fun" part of the title. Catchy titles are known to sell books, and one that contains both "sex" and "fun" is sure to account for a few (maybe many) sales, even if it does not describe the contents of the book very well.
The interesting parts of the book (and there are many) have to do with such surprising facts as: menopause is a nearly exclusively human trait. Other female mammals remain fertile through their their life span, with the exception of pilot whales, who are subject to menopause. This book attempts to explain the evolutionary advantages of menopause in both humans and whales.
The fact that human females emit very few outward signs of fertility and are sexually receptive to males throughout their menstrual cycle has huge implications in terms of how the institution of marriage has evolved in society. It is THAT kind of a book: scholarly, philosophically provocative, and extremely interesting. There is no sexual titillation here. You will be told that pubic and underarm hair are "cheap and wholly arbitrary" signals of human sexual maturity, a fact which may or may not hold your interest. In all, this is a short but highly concentrated source of extraordinary information about the evolution of sexuality, about mammalian behavior, and even about the interplay between penis size and the size of the brain. It is fine reading, but forget about "fun." The book is well indexed and contains good references. I withold one star because of the mild deception this book's title imposes upon the unwary consumer.
