Reviews

-A book must be judged not only on its content, but also for the perspectives it contains. Such a premises is indispensable to evaluate the present book. The content is outstanding.... The book will be... of central importance to a wide range of professionals, including biologists, geneticists and any sort of anthropologists. Reading it will moreover be an invaluable supplement for students of theory of evolution and anthropology in the broadest sense.- --A. B. Chiarelli, Man -As a centennial volume commemorating Darwin's Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, Campbell assembled eleven essays on issues of sexual selection and human evolution which Darwin's work proposed.... [T]he book is... a valuable collection which expands our understanding of sexual selection.- --Adrienne Zihlman, American Anthropologist -[H]ighly exciting book on modern evolutionary theory which began as a tribute to Charles Darwin. If every scientific centennial were to evoke a book half as stimulating, science might move forward much faster even than it is now doing, for this volume opens up and strengthens a borderland between disciplines that have had far too little to say to each other in the past.- --Bentley Glass, The Quarterly Review of Biology -In 1871 under the title The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex Darwin published a book that dealt with human evolution and with sexual selection, or two books bound together, one on each of these topics, or perhaps just part of a book, the rest appearing a year later as The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. The event is commemorated here by 11 essays on the subjects considered in Darwin's classic.- --George C. Williams, Science
