In her intriguing and provocat ive book about females and sex, Small concentrates on primates - the prosimians, monkeys, and apes, whose ancestry we share - to show how females have evolved t o be highly sexual creatures. Using nonhuman female primates as a gauge, she des cribes the sexual and reproductive strategies of our nearest cousins to demonstr ate that just as males are strategists in the reproductive game, females also se arch for good partners, enjoy sex, and keep their own reproductive interests in mind. Female Choices opens with the evolution of sexual reproduction and of male s and females as distinct forms. Small then introduces primates and gives a deta iled history of the average female's life cycle. After devoting chapters to sexu ality, reproduction, and sexual selection theory - the theory behind female mate choice - she discusses what female primates actually do. Drawing on her own fir sthand observation of nonhuman primates, she shows that some are highly promisc uous, others prefer several unfamiliar males, and some apparently make no choi ces at all.
