Product Information
By examining prehistoric origins of human sexual behavior, this book challenges conventional wisdom about sex, marriage, family, and shows how far from human nature monogamy really is.
It aims to demystify almost everything we claim to know about sex and expose ancient roots of human sexuality, while focusing enlightenment through love, cooperation, and generosity.
