Sex at Dawn challenges conventional wisdom about sex in a significant way. By examining the prehistoric origins of human sexual behavior, the authors reveal the misconceptions and weaknesses of the standard theories proposed by most experts. This is a provocative, entertaining, and groundbreaking book. I learned a lot from it and highly recommend it.

Sex at Dawn irrefutably shows that the obvious – that humans, both male and female, are lustful – is true and has always been so. The more questionable the evidence and the lack of connection to current reality, the more passionately the scientific inevitability of monogamy is upheld – even as it crumbles around us.

A controversial, idea-driven book that questions everything you think you know about sex, monogamy, marriage, and family. In the words of Steve Taylor, Sex at Dawn is “a wonderfully provocative and well-written book that completely reassesses human sexual behavior and explores the roots of many of our social and psychological ills.”.
