I find sexual selection an interesting albeit in popular science literature underrepresented subject. It seems to me that this is the phenomenon that links things like fashion, infatuation and other cultural expressions to our biological evolution, and would explain the relative rapid adaption to various climates that humans obviously have gone though over the last 50 000 years or so, which the traditional evolutionary model (survival of the fittest) will have trouble explaining. I'm sure this is no secret among professional evolution scientists, but this side of evolution has AFAICS not filtered into the general consciousness, for some reason that I have yet to figure out. Maybe because it would give women a more important role than we so far have been willing to accept? Maybe because it would give animals an intuition and intelligence that we traditionally have denied them?
