Marlene Zuk is Regents Professor of ecology, evolution, and behavior at the University of Minnesota and studies animal sexual behavior and communication. The author of Paleofantasy and Sex on Six Legs, among other works, she lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
"This book is a joy—a provocative, highly entertaining exploration
of the roots of our behavior. Zuk dispels the murk and
misconceptions about how our sex roles, language, intelligence,
even our mental illness came to be, offering a fresh and
invigorating view of animal behavior..."
*Jennifer Ackerman, The New York Times bestselling author of The
Genius of Birds*
"With authority, clarity, and wit, the author guides readers on a
revelatory journey into the connected nature of behavior across the
tree of life."
*Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, coauthor of Zoobiquity and
Wildhood*
"...Marlene Zuk uses a light touch to probe heavy questions: What
is behavior? How is it related to intelligence? Does domestication
make one dumb? The book, sparkling with humor and curiosity, is a
pleasure from start to finish."
*Kim Todd, author of Sparrow*
