Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have believed that the interesting animals in the animal kingdom are primarily males—dominant, inventive, and active, while the females are boring, passive, and devoted. Modern researcher Lucy Cook tells a different story. Whether she’s studying same-sex pairs of albatrosses that raise their chicks together, deadly meerkat mothers, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by ducks, the author shows us a new version of animal biology in which females play a far from secondary role, and sex becomes a factor in evolution.
