She cites a Japanese study that casts doubt on 'the ultimate poster child of sexual selection': the peacock. Darwin thought that the only reason peacocks would risk attracting predators with their plumage was because they must be even more desperate to attract mates.

JR Daeschner: One for the Calendar
http://jrdaeschner.blogspot.com/2014/11/thanksgiving-puritans.html
Author of TRUE BRITS. THE HISTORY OF SEX (But Not As We Know It). One for the Calendar. As holidays go, trying to add National Humiliation Day to the calendar would be a tough sell, wouldn't it?

And that got me wondering why. If anyt...

In contrast to Darwin's modern champions (most of whom are men), Roughgarden comes across as refreshingly humble and, well, genial, in person. Over lunch at a charity-run café near her home in San Francisco, she tells me that she'd like to think of the British Darwinist, Richard Dawkins, as a friend. Roughgarden recalls teaching from.
