Dr. Rhawn Joseph "forgot" to include scientific analysis of The Forgotten Ape = the Bonobos (see the book by de Waal published by the University of California Press). Dr. Joseph's 'University Press California' book is interesting and revealing as an example of how selective, incomplete coverage of evolutionary science can be used to justify the most extreme contemporary cultural expressions of misogynistic patriarchy. It could be used as a text book for study of that phenomenon. The photographs of nude women with motorcycles reflect the cultural ideology that makes the pursuit of valid science so difficult in America today.

This book at a superficial level appears to be intelligently written. If you are a scientist who has studied human sexuality you will know what a sham this book is. The author apparently doesn't understand the fundamentals of the field, like minimal parental investments and its evolutionary consequences. Don't buy this book.

Dr. Joseph is among that elite group of scientists who not only makes amazing discoveries but has the amazing ability to "think outside the box." In the 1970s Dr. Joseph was the first to demonstrate, conclusively, the role of early environmental and hormonal influences on sex differences in cognition, scientific studies he published in prestigious scientific journals. He has also made major discoveries in the field of evolution, including the evolution of language, religion, sex differences and sexuality, and has published this work in prestigious scientific journals such Behavioral and Brain Research and the Archives of Sexual Behavior. In this brilliant, tour de force, Dr. Joseph explains the origins and evolution of human female sexuality and points out unsettling facts that the patriarchs of science and culture would prefer to believe were not true. For example, among almost all species, almost all females will mate, whereas 30% to up to 75% of males never have sex. The same is true of the human female who, on average, has more sex partners, and certainly, more orgasms, that the average male. Females are built for sex: consider the millions upon millions of women who work as prostitutes. What human male could engage in sex with 5 or more women a day, for years? Women have more sex than men, though it is often with the same man. That is, whereas a few high status males have numerous sex partners, most males do not. However, who is having sex with these high status men? Women, lots of women, ...
