Ja, wie sind denn die Frauen zu ihren Kurven gekommen? Warum haben sie Bruste, wahrend andere Saugetiere nur dann Brustgewebe ausbilden, wenn sie Milch geben, und warum menstruieren Frauen, wahrend fast alle anderen Geschopfe darauf verzichten? Welche Grunde gibt es fur den weiblichen Orgasmus? Wieso wissen Frauen nicht, wann ihr Eisprung stattfindet und ihre fruchtbarsten Tage anbrechen, und wieso kommen wir als einzige Tiere in die Wechseljahre?
David P. Barash und Judith Eve Lipton, Coautoren viel gelobter Bucher uber die menschliche Sexualitat und Geschlechtlichkeit, stellen jene Theorien vor, die Wissenschaftler zur Erklarung dieser evolutionaren Ratsel entwickelt haben und die von Kritikern gerne als Just-so Stories diskreditiert werden. Dazu prasentieren sie ihre eigenen Hypothesen. Wahrend einige der wissenschaftlichen Theorien auf soliden empirischen Daten beruhen, sind andere reine Spekulationen. Barash und Lipton arbeiten heraus, was heute feststeht und was vorerst ungewiss bleibt. In ihre unterhaltsame Analyse flechten sie ihren biologischen und psychologischen Sachverstand sowie ihr fundiertes Wissen auf den Gebieten der Verhaltensbiologie, der Anthropologie und der menschlichen Sexualitat ein. Die Leser werden ermuntert, die Indizien selbst unter die Lupe zu nehmen und eigene Schlusse zu ziehen. Barash und Lipton schreiben evolutionare Spannungsliteratur, die uns zu wahren Wissenschaftsdetektiven macht.
