Description

 

A major reimagining of how evolutionary forces work, revealing how mating preferences - what Darwin
termed "the taste for the beautiful" - create the extraordinary range of ornament in the animal world.


In the great halls of science, dogma holds that Darwin's theory of natural selection explains every branch on
the tree of life: which species thrive, which wither away to extinction, and what features each evolves. But can
adaptation by natural selection really account for everything we see in nature? 

Yale University ornithologist
Richard Prum - reviving Darwin's own views - thinks not. Deep in tropical jungles around the world are birds with a
dizzying array of appearances and mating displays: club-winged manakins who sing with their wings, great argus pheasants
who dazzle prospective mates with a four-foot-wide cone of feathers covered in golden 3-D spheres, red-capped manakins
who moonwalk. In 30 years of fieldwork, Prum has seen numerous display traits that seem disconnected from, if not
outright contrary to, selection for individual survival. To explain this, he dusts off Darwin's long-neglected theory of
sexual selection, in which the act of choosing a mate for purely aesthetic reasons - for the mere pleasure of it - is an
independent engine of evolutionary change. 

Mate choice can drive ornamental traits from the constraints of
adaptive evolution, allowing them to grow ever more elaborate. It also sets the stakes for sexual conflict, in which the
sexual autonomy of the female evolves in response to male sexual control. Most crucially, this framework provides
important insights into the evolution of human sexuality, particularly the ways in which female preferences have changed
male bodies, and even maleness itself, through evolutionary time. 

The Evolution of Beauty presents a unique
scientific vision for how nature's splendor contributes to a more complete understanding of evolution and of ourselves.
