Sex at Dawn Summary

Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships by Christopher Ryan

In this controversial, thought-provoking, and brilliant book, renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha debunk almost everything we know about sex, weaving together convergent, frequently overlooked evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality to show how far from human nature monogamy really is. In Sex at Dawn, the authors expose the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity.

Sex at Dawn Reviews

Sex At Dawn has helped me understand myself and the world so much more clearly. -- Ilana Glazer, co-creator of Broad City Sex At Dawn is the single most important book about human sexuality since Alfred Kinsey unleashed Sexual Behavior in the Human Male on the American public in 1948. -- Dan Savage Funny, witty, and light ... Sex at Dawn is a scandal in the best sense, one that will have you reading the best parts aloud and reassessing your ideas about humanity's basic urges well after the book is done. -- Newsweek Sex At Dawn challenges conventional wisdom about sex in a big way... This is a provocative, entertaining, and pioneering book. I learned a lot from it and recommend it highly. -- Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Healthy Aging Sex At Dawn is a provocative and engaging synthesis... that has the added benefit of being a joy to read...

A must-read for anyone interested in where our sexual impulses come from. -- Tony Perrottet, author of Napoleon's Privates This paradigm-shifting book is a thoroughly original discussion of the origins and nature of human sexuality... These authors have a gift for making complex material reader-friendly, filling each chapter with humor and passion as well as dozens of revolutionary insights. -- Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha have written the essential corrective to the evolutionary psychology literature... -- Stanton Peele, Ph.D.
