Hello!
One of the books I’ve read recently is “Sex at Dawn”, by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha, published in 2010.
The book is a fresh perspective on the evolution of humans’ mating systems, and the authors argue that human beings evolved in groups of hunter-gatherers in which sexual interaction was a resource shared within the group, just like food, childcare and group defense.
Reading “Sex at Dawn”, I was interested in the exploration of the idea of monogamy and the question of ‘is it natural or not?’; the authors say that a large part of the conclusions of evolutionary psychology researchers emerged through a process in which the researchers were projecting modern beliefs and assumptions about hunter-gatherer societies.
Non-monogamy and the way this style of relating can change and redefine the lives of women is one of the topics of the book we are exploring in a series of 15 new videos about feminism, within our new project, EGALIS.
