Описание: Sexual selection, Darwin`s other big idea, is the selection for particular traits and behaviours that results from (usually) female choice and male competition. It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock`s tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This book explores our understanding of how sexual selection works.
