5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful concept, August 3, 2005

By	Jason Stanley (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sex Contract: The Evolution of Human Behavior (Paperback)

The Sex Contract does a great job of developing a novel concept for the development of human intelligence via pair bonding and mutual assistance. It examins cooperative development as a competitive stratigy in early hominids. It builds a compelling argument for the strong development of social stratigy in the success of the species.

Well written with a broad appeal for serious behaviorial scientists as well as sutdents of the human condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The origin of our behavior, June 20, 1998

By	dnader@antisocial.com (Guayaquil, Ecuador) - See all my reviews

Never a book has helped me understand the very nature of human behavior like "The sex Contract". It deals with the essence and origin of our acts and thoughts: sexual differences. A great book!
