I read this last year. It contained many of the important insights from ev. psych, especially in the area of mating strategies. It was far too wordy and long to justify its informational content. Robert Wright snagged most of the ideas from scientists, but he is a journalist, so he tends to mangle concepts and play up spurious “angles” of the “story.” This was the most tedious thing I’ve read on the subject. Pinker is somewhat better.
