Synopsis

What evolutionary advantages does sexual reproduction possibly confer? Acclaimed science writers Gribbin & Cherfas explain why we reproduce in the way we do. THE MATING GAME is a substantially revised and updated edition of the book previously published as THE REDUNDANT MALE. In this new book, the authors survey everything, from single-cell organisms to computer-dating agencies, revealing how human behaviour is deeply rooted in our evolutionary past. Modern technology could soon make men redundant - if it wasn't for one tiny snag: if it weren't for the 2 sexes we'd all be riddled with disease. This book explores many of sex's surprising oddities.
