What is Female Choices : Sexual Behavior of Female Primates about?

The Battle Of The Sexes Can Be Explained At Its Deepest Level, Writes Meredith Small, As A War Of Different Mating Strategies. In Her Intriguing And Provocative Book About Females And Sex, Small Concentrates On Primates - The Prosimians, Monkeys, And Apes, Whose Ancestry We Share - To Show How Females Have Evolved To Be Highly Sexual Creatures. Using Nonhuman Female Primates As A Gauge, She Describes The Sexual And Reproductive Strategies Of Our Nearest Cousins To Demonstrate That Just As Males Are Strategists In The Reproductive Game, Females Also Search For Good Partners, Enjoy Sex, And Keep Their Own Reproductive Interests In Mind.
