Although commonly believed that males are more promiscuous than females, new research has revealed that female infidelity is a common occurrence throughout the animal kingdom. Female Infidelity and Paternal Uncertainty is the first book to address how males deal with the consequences of female infidelity and the strategies they have evolved to try to avoid the possibility of raising an offspring they unknowingly did not sire. Each chapter deals with a specific evolved strategy developed to aid males in either limiting opportunities for their mate to be unfaithful or to 'correct' the by-products of infidelity should it occur. With sections including mate guarding, intra-vaginal tactics and paternity assessment, this book will appeal to researchers and graduate students in behavioral biology, evolutionary psychology, human sexuality, anthropology, sociology, reproductive health and medicine.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Pulling together this variety of methods into one volume is a reason enough for researchers in this area to own the book."
American Journal of Human Biology

"...a virtual treasure trove of fun things to know and tell about the sneaky ways in which male biology goes to war against its intrasexual competition.... In summary, Female Infidelity and Parental Uncertainty is a nice addition to the field and indispensable for anyone doing research on human sexual relationships. It will also prove accessible and interesting to the more casual reader who simply wants to know more about how natural selection has shaped everything from the biochemistry of semen to the behavior patterns of jealous males to help males avoid the gnawing insecurity and evolutionary damage that accompanies life as a cuckold.
Francis T. McAndrew, The Journal of Mind and Behavior

Book Description

Because paternal certainty is asymmetrical, males have evolved a number of anti-cuckoldry strategies to deal with the possibility of raising an offspring they unknowingly did not sire. Female Infidelity and Paternal Uncertainty: Evolutionary Perspectives on Male Anti-cuckoldry Tactics addresses these perspectives.

Format: Paperback

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It perfectly combines experimental evidence from scientific studies with life-long and everyday issues that most of us are forced to deal with. WARNING: requires some background in science for understanding of the data presented in the book; some readers may find it difficult to read and understand because of the complex professional language used throughout the book.

Format: Hardcover

I've had an early look at this book, and it will certainly live up to any expectations you have. Every topic is covered lucidly, especially the chapter on the "Social Mirror." The authors present convincing arguments that male adaptations have evolved to unconsciously combat female infidelity and related concerns. Two thumbs up - sure to be a hit at HBES 06.
