Download Nature's Nether Regions: What the Sex Lives of Bugs, Birds, and Beasts Tell Us About Evolution, Biodiversity, and Ourselves AudioBook Free
The storyplot of advancement as you've never observed it before. What's the easiest way to tell types apart? Check their genitals. Researching private parts was long considered taboo, but experts are now beginning to recognize that the wild variety of love-making organs across types can tell us a lot about advancement. Menno Schilthuizen invites listeners to join him as he uncovers the ways the shapes and functions of genitalia have been molded by sophisticated Darwinian problems: penises which may have lost their spines but developed appendages to displace sperm; feminine orgasms that select or reject semen from guys, in turn subtly modifying the females' genital shape. We learn why spiders masturbate into miniature webs, discover she dungflies that store sperm from attractive guys in their bellies, and observe how, when it comes to outlandish appendages and bizarre behaviours, humans are downright boring. Nature's Nether Regions joyfully demonstrates that the more we learn about the multiform private parts of animals, the more we understand our own unique put in place the great variety of life.
