How Women Got Their Curves and Other Just-So Stories

Evolutionary Enigmas

by Judith Eve Lipton, David P. Barash ...

The authors of Gender Gap: The Biology of Male-Female Differences take readers on "a joyride of intellectual discovery . . . full of provocative ideas" (Pepper Schwartz, author of Prime).So how did women get their curves? Why do they have breasts, while other mammals only develop breast tissue while lactating, and why do women menstruate, when virtually no other beings do so? What are the reasons ... Read more

Using Science to See Our Species as We Really Are

by David P. Barash ...

Human beings have long seen themselves as the center of the universe, the apple of God's eye, specially-created creatures who are somehow above and beyond the natural world. This viewpoint--a persistent paradigm of our own unique self-importance--is as dangerous as it is false. In Through a Glass Brightly, noted scientist David P. Barash explores the process by which science has, throughout time, ... Read more

Evolutionary Puzzles of Human Nature

by David P. Barash ...

For all that science knows about the living world, notes David P. Barash, there are even more things that we don't know, genuine evolutionary mysteries that perplex the best minds in biology. Paradoxically, many of these mysteries are very close to home, involving some of the most personal aspects of being human.

How Genes and Gender Influence Our Relationships

by David P. Barash, Judith Eve Lipton ...

Let's face it, say Barash and Lipton: Males and females, boys and girls, men and women are different. To be sure, these differences are often heightened by distinctions in learning, cultural tradition, and social expectation, but underpinning them all is a fundamental difference that derives from biology. Throughout the natural world, males are those creatures that make sperm; females make eggs. ... Read more

The Soul Delusion

by David P. Barash ...

The case against the soul-and why life is better without one.The soul, like the Christian notion of the devil, has increasingly become contested, even for traditional believers. Considered objectively, the soul is a strange notion, one entirely at odds with everything we know about how the world actually works.

Intimidation and Its Discontents

The Surprising Consequences of Polygamy

by David P. Barash ...

In this changing world of what is socially and politically "correct," polygamy is perhaps the last great taboo. Over the last thousand years, monogamy - at least in name - has been the default setting for coupledom and procreation in the Western world. And yet, throughout history, there have been inklings that "one-man, one-woman" is an uncomfortable institution for human beings. The consistently ... Read more

From the child taunted by her playmates to the office worker who feels stifled in his daily routine, people frequently take out their pain and anger on others, even those who had nothing to do with the original stress.

Ancient Eastern Wisdom Meets Modern Western Science

by David P. Barash ...

Many high-profile public intellectuals -- including "New Atheists" like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and the late Christopher Hitchens -- have argued that religion and science are deeply antagonistic, representing two world views that are utterly incompatible. David Barash, a renowned biologist with forty years of experience, largely agrees with them, but with one very big exception: Buddhism. ... Read more
