Über diesen Titel

“A terrific book, witty and lucid, and brimming with provocative conjectures.” (Wall Street Journal) from the author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller Genome

Brilliantly written, The Red Queen compels us to rethink everything from the persistence of sexism to the endurance of romantic love.

Referring to Lewis Carroll's Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same place, Matt Ridley demonstrates why sex is humanity's best strategy for outwitting its constantly mutating internal predators. The Red Queen answers dozens of other riddles of human nature and culture—including why men propose marriage, the method behind our maddening notions of beauty, and the disquieting fact that a woman is more likely to conceive a child by an adulterous lover than by her husband. The Red Queen offers an extraordinary new way of interpreting the human condition and how it has evolved.

I was happy when I discovered that the Red Queen was available as audiobook. I had already read it a couple of years ago, and I was kind of surprised how many ideas about the evolution of the sexes, I have taken from this book - more or less anything of interest that I have to say, comes from this book....

A classic book about the evolution of the sexes.

I really enjoyed the content. The Speaker also was quite nice to listen to... but! the searching for the chapters with it subtitles as they appear in the book is just not ok for the money that gets spend on the audiobook. Pls Add chapters and subchapters with titles on them.

Chapters pls!!
