The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature - Matt Ridley
Why are women sexy? And why do they sometimes want badboys and other times want the good guy?
The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature - Geoffrey Miller
A similar read to the Red Queen, but with a better treatment of why we have art and beauty.
The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature - Steven Pinker
Why the blank slate hypothesis fails miserably. And why this should not concern us.
