Mate choice: From sexual cues to cognitive adaptations
... There’s more to analyzing mate choice than predicting sex differences Sex differences are easy to investigate because the contrast groups (males and females) come ready-made, predictions from sexual selection theory are often fairly simple, and results attract widespread media interest. But there’s ...

In other respects, 'The mating mind' is standard biological adaptationism, focusing much more on 'what' and 'why' than on 'how', 'when', or 'where'. ...

Cognition and the Evolution of Music
