selection is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting areas of evolutionary biology and animal behavior. It is important to understand the peculiar history of sexual selection theory because virtually all of 20th century psychology, anthropology, paleontology, and the social sciences and humanities, developed without recognizing that sexual selection could have played any important role in the evolution of the human body, the human mind, human behavior, or human culture.
