Culture and Context Times change, but the basic forces of attraction are still present. We now have meetings in bars and computer dating instead of meeting in caves or savannahs. We should understand evolved sexual strategies, what conditions they were designed to deal with and where they came from. Compared with other animals, humans have many more mating strategies. For example, consider getting a divorce.
Strategies vary according to the ratio of available men to available women.
Contexts reoccur over time. This book identifies recurrent sexual strategies and adaptive problems of the past, the psychological mechanisms or strategic solutions they created. Barriers to Understanding Human Sexuality Evolutionary theory has upset people since Darwin first proposed it. Barriers must be removed to be able to understand our sexuality. Nowadays, we use long-term memory much more.
