Effectively dismantling misguided assumptions that women take on passive roles when it comes to survival and reproduction, Evolution's Empress addresses women as active agents within the evolutionary process. Who should read Evolution's Empress? Unquestionably, anyone in the field of evolutionary psychology (or parellel specialties in anthropology and biology) would want to have the book. Indeed, I would go out on a limb and say that it would have to be included in the top tier of contemporary books in the field. Beyond these professionals, the book's readability makes its contents accessible to any person interested in the latest thoughts on the nature of human nature. It really is that good.
