The author, a lifelong ornithologist with a passion for birds, embraces Darwin’s theory of aesthetic mate choice – that selecting a mate for the sheer pleasure of it is an independent engine of evolutionary change. First he looks at birds, then he speculates about it being true of other creatures, including Homo sapiens.
