Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. There are books with understated titles, and then there are books that stride confidently onto the stage carrying three of the biggest subjects imaginable in a single armful. Darwin, Sex and Status sounds less like something found on a university reading list and more like the dinner party conversation that everyone politely agreed never to have again. Published by the University of Toronto Press in 1991, Jerome H. Barkow?s thought-provoking study explores one of the enduring questions of human existence: how much of what we think, desire, compete over and aspire to is rooted in our evolutionary past? It is an ambitious attempt to bridge biology, psychology, anthropology and culture without reducing humanity to either simple instinct or fashionable theory. Barkow examines the ways in which evolutionary pressures may have shaped not only our bodies but also our minds, social hierarchies and cultural behaviour. Topics such as status, attraction, cooperation, competition and social signalling are explored through the lens of evolutionary thinking, producing a book that is as likely to provoke lively debate as quiet agreement. Whether you ultimately nod along or spend the entire book arguing with the author, you are unlikely to be bored. One of the book?s greatest strengths is that it belongs to a fascinating period in academic history. During the late twentieth century, researchers were increasingly asking whether biology and culture were opponents or partners in explaining human behaviour. Barkow makes the case that they are inseparable, suggesting that our remarkable cultures are built upon cognitive foundations shaped over hundreds of thousands of years. The result is an engaging intellectual journey rather than a collection of simplistic answers. Of course, there is delicious irony in attempting to explain status competition through a book that itself competes for status on academic bookshelves. Scholars write books about why humans seek prestige, other scholars review them to establish their own prestige, and readers buy them in the hope of understanding why everyone seems so obsessed with prestige. Evolution, it appears, has an excellent sense of humour. Despite tackling serious scientific ideas, the writing remains approachable for interested general readers. This is not one of those books that appears determined to defeat you with impenetrable terminology by chapter two. Instead, Barkow patiently develops his arguments, inviting readers to think critically rather than simply accept fashionable conclusions. It is the kind of book that rewards curiosity and encourages margin notes, although we are pleased to report that this particular copy has escaped such treatment. Physically, this is a near fine copy. It appears almost unread, with crisp, clean pages and an excellent overall appearance. There is one small but noticeable bubble on the spine. Thankfully this is purely cosmetic rather than structural, and the binding remains sound. In short, it has acquired a tiny wrinkle of character without suffering any real indignity, something many of us can sympathise with. As an unexpected bonus, the book still contains its original Waterstones receipt from 2002 , tucked safely inside. We are rather fond of these little survivals. A forgotten receipt quietly reminds us that every second-hand book has lived at least one previous life before arriving on our shelves. Somewhere, over twenty years ago, somebody wandered into Waterstones, decided that evolutionary psychology was exactly what they needed, carried this volume home. and then appears to have treated it with extraordinary care. Whether you are interested in evolutionary psychology, anthropology, sociology, cognitive science or simply enjoy books that ask enormous questions about what it means to be human, Darwin, Sex and Status remains a fascinating snapshot of an influential field at a pivotal moment in its development. It challenges assumptions, sparks discussion and reminds us that understanding ourselves may be the most complicated evolutionary adaptation of all. Exactly the sort of intelligent, well-preserved academic volume that Crappy Old Books delights in rescuing. Complete with its tiny cosmetic quirk, its unexpectedly surviving Waterstones receipt, and enough provocative ideas to keep your own highly evolved primate brain happily occupied for quite some time.
