This book presents an exploration of the historical tension between the concept of natural selection and other theories that attempt to account for the development of secondary sexual traits across a range of species, including humans. The author examines Darwin's theory of sexual selection, as well as ideas such as the Lamarckian theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, and exposes a wide range of compelling evidence that challenges traditional Darwinian explanations. Drawing on extensive research in genetics, the author provides a comprehensive overview of the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors in the development of sexually distinctive characteristics. This insightful book provides a fresh perspective on a classic scientific debate, with important implications for our understanding of evolution.
