For all that science knows about the living world, notes David P. Barash, there        are even more things that we don't know, genuine evolutionary mysteries that perplex        the best minds in biology. Paradoxically, many of these mysteries are very close to        home, involving some of the most personal aspects of being human.Homo Mysterious        examines a number of these evolutionary mysteries, exploring things that we don't        yet know about ourselves, laying out the best current hypotheses, and pointing        toward insights that scientists are just beginning to glimpse. Why do women        experience orgasm? Why do men have a shorter lifespan than women? Why does        homosexuality exist? Why does religion exist in virtually every culture? Why do we        have a fondness for the arts? Why do we have such large brains? And why does        consciousness exist? Readers are plunged into an ocean of unknowns--the blank spots        on the human evolutionary map, the terra incognita of our own species--and are        introduced to the major hypotheses that currently occupy scientists who are        attempting to unravel each puzzle (including some solutions proposed here for the        first time). Throughout the book, readers are invited to share the thrill of science        at its cutting edge, a place where we know what we don't know, and, moreover, where        we know enough to come up with some compelling and seductive explanations.Homo        Mysterious is a guide to creative thought and future explorations, based on the        best, most current thinking by evolutionary scientists. It captures the allure of        the "e;not-yet-known"e; for those interested in stretching their scientific        imaginations.
