Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People by Joan Roughgarden

4.0

It’s hard to know what to say about this book because my reactions were pretty much as follows: “Really?” “Really!” “REALLY.” “Really?!” It’s 16 years old now, which is a very long time as far as society’s own evolution on gender and sexual diversity. Some parts of the book still feel revolutionary to me (alternatives to Darwin’s theory of sexual selection), some felt boring, some dubious, and some dated. There’s just a lot here to digest and I really want to find some newer books too.
