Download Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, with a New Preface AudioBook Free
In this ground breaking celebration of diversity and affirmation of individuality in animals and humans, Joan Roughgarden issues accepted intelligence about gender individuality and erotic orientation. A distinguished evolutionary biologist, Roughgarden assumes the medical establishment, the Bible, cultural science--and even Darwin himself. She leads the reader through a fascinating discussion of diversity in gender and sexuality among fish, reptiles, amphibians, wild birds, and mammals, including primates. Evolution's Rainbow explains how this diversity evolves from the action of genes and hormones and how people come to differ from each other in all aspects of body and patterns. Roughgarden reconstructs major science in light of feminist, gay, and transgender criticism and redefines our understanding of love-making, gender, and sexuality. A new preface shows how this witty, frolicsome, and daring reserve has revolutionized our understanding of sexuality.
