Author: Yang Yuling (Translator)
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2000-06-01
Features: This is a book about the evolution of beauty, profit, and intelligence; beauty, profit, and intelligence have particularly puzzled Darwin. It is partly history, partly scientific reporting, and partly philosophy. With extensive references, it resembles an academic book, yet even non-professionals find it fascinating to read. Anyone deeply interested in "how the human mind has evolved" will find it hard not to be captivated by this book.
