This provocative and brilliant book challenges the accepted narrative that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá weave together evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality to show how far from human nature monogamy really is. They explore the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future that is illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity. Sex at Dawn unapologetically upends unwarranted assumptions and unfounded conclusions while offering a revolutionary understanding of why we live and love as we do.
