About This Item
Anchor. Softcover. Very Good. Evolution of Beauty" (ISBN: 9780345804570): "Evolution of Beauty" is a scientific exploration of the concept of beauty in the natural world. Author Richard O. Prum investigates the role of beauty in the evolution of various species, challenging traditional theories of natural selection. Prum argues that the aesthetic preferences of animals, including humans, have played a significant role in shaping biological diversity and the development of extravagant and ornate traits. The book delves into the intricacies of mate choice, sexual selection, and the evolution of beauty as a driving force in the natural world. Prum's work offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between beauty, evolution, and the diversity of life forms on Earth. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
