Sex, Time and Power

This book explores the fascinating question of why Homo sapiens developed large brains 150,000 years ago. It connects the evolution of bipedalism and infant head size to changes in female hormonal cycles, linking these to the development of time perception and female control over sex. The author argues that men's desire for immortality through heirs led to the creation of patriarchal societies. This wide-ranging exploration offers fresh perspectives on human evolution, courtship, and language.
