highly recommended

Univ. of Missouri, Columbia. New approach to the sexes, explaining the differences between men and women rather than describing them. Covers sexual selection, paternal investment, evolution and development of the mind, and more. For researchers and practitioners. Halftone illustrations.

A provocative theory of sex differences

I wasn't sure at first, but after reading this book I was convinced that human sex differences are related to sexual selection. In all, this was the most interesting and thoughtful book that I have ever read on sex differences.

Thorough, concise, convincing

This an extremely comprehensive book. With a bibliography bigger than some books, no one can say that Mr. Geary hasn't done his homework. His ability to distill a vast amount of information into a comprehensible, concise and compelling theory of the reasons for gender differences is remarkable. His writing style, although academicly oriented, is very readable. No words are wasted, and no thoughts are half-baked. Agree with him or not, his arguments are well concieved and well documented. A virtual one stop shop for all the documented differences between the sexes. A great book.

Good source for current information

Taking a strictly evolutionary approach to sex differences this book offers a great summary to date (1998) with adequate references to a whole host of research. It takes this information and offers a summary chapter regarding sex differences in modern society that makes great use of the updated information and research to describe basic sex differences in social, cognitive, and interpersonal relationships today. This book is a good source for current information.

I really like it!

This is a classic and contemporary book about human behavior in an evolutionary approach. The sex differences is a interesting sobject and this book is a helpful guide to facilitate functional discussion and can be used by students as well. Thanks Geary.
