Negative Positive
Title: I think they needed a story to go with the pictures -- but it is NOT science!
Review: I completely agree with this being one of the worst books in popular science published -- and by CUP no less! It is absolutely contradictory, full of logical loopholes and yes -- sexist. Any woman who's had children can tell you that it is a very very rare event indeed that a father will "take active care" of his children -- without cajoling or nagging from the mother -- and I am speaking also of the nominally "happily" married couples. Potts and Short ("pot of poop and short of brains", I call them) made so many mistakes in reasoning that it would take a book at least as long as theirs to present and analyze them. The only reason to buy this book is to stimulate your own thinking about what could actually be the true evolutionary history of our modern sexual behavior.
