How We Do It: The Evolution and Future of Human Reproduction
Robert Martin
In our time, when medicine and biotechnology are increasingly invading the areas of conception, childbirth and child care, it is more important than ever to understand how these processes arose and developed in our species during evolution. One of the best evolutionary biologists in the world, Robert Martin, brilliantly coped with this task, having written a thorough and fascinating book in which one can find answers to both the most serious and practical questions, and sometimes to the curious ones. How to avoid postpartum depression? Can the incidence of breast cancer be reduced? Why do men need nipples? Does a woman's brain shrink during pregnancy? What are the biological prerequisites for masturbation? And even in the age of general sexual education, the most sophisticated reader will learn something surprising and unexpected for himself.
