About This Book

In The Red Queen, Matt Ridley uses the Red Queen metaphor to explain how sexual reproduction evolved as a way for species to stay ahead of rapidly mutating parasites. He explores how sexual selection shapes human behavior, beauty standards, mating strategies, and even intelligence, arguing that many traits exist because they improve reproductive success. Through vivid examples, Ridley offers a fresh evolutionary perspective on human nature, love, and culture.
