«Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality» is Jared Diamond's popular science essay, in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Jared Diamond analyzes why human sexuality is strange compared with other animals: sex in private, no mating season, female menopause and paternal care. For Jared Diamond, these oddities were as decisive as the brain in human evolution and explain the attitudes of men and women towards extramarital sex.
This edition was published by Phoenix within the Science Masters series and won the Prismas Casa de las Ciencias Award for Science Communication in 2000.
For readers of popular science with an interest in evolutionary biology, anthropology and human sexuality.
