Why do humans stay with partners long-term, unlike most animals? Renowned scientist Jared Diamond dives into the evolutionary history behind our unique mating behaviors. From our private bedroom antics to our tendency towards monogamy, he blends wit and expertise to reveal how human sexuality has been as crucial as our big brains in our ascent to dominance. At the core, this is a story about what truly makes us human.
