Description

An exciting story that will captivate you from beginning to end! The history of sex from the dawn of life to sex robots in a revealing, and surely unique, presentation of human behavior.

How did sex begin? How did it evolve into something so diverse and complex for humans? What influence does our genetic heritage have on our love lives today? And what will sex be like in the future?

Combining humor and accurate scientific data, David Baker guides readers in understanding one of the deepest and most persistent forces of human nature.

It starts from our evolutionary family tree (from dinosaurs, primates, and early humans), continues by examining how sex changed in the foraging and agricultural eras, reaching the present with the bewildering variety of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and contemplates the future.

In this book, Baker takes us on a journey that begins from the origins of life, traverses the chaotic interventions of evolution that shaped human anatomy and instincts, and pokes his nose into every stage of human history, demonstrating how significantly sex has shaped almost every aspect of our society.

Illuminating and simultaneously entertaining, the book challenges our understanding of human sexuality.

From the foreword by Simon Whistler.

Read an excerpt

Sex has played a crucial role in the transformation of many species over the past 2 billion years since it first appeared in the then asexual microscopic creatures, enriching the natural world with a rich and wondrous variety of forms and granting us humans the sexual complexity (and confusion) that characterizes us today. Traveling back along our evolutionary path, we can discover where every blush, sigh, and tingling sensation that reminds us we are alive originates from, as well as many of the good and bad instincts that reside in the deepest, innate regions of our being. By understanding how we evolved from simple inorganic matter into complex living beings, with intricate chemistry in their bodies and fragile nervous systems, we can grasp the core of the irresistible human need for intimacy, love, and sex.
