Exploring the motivations behind human sexuality, Niles Eldredge challenges reductionist views that limit sex to mere procreation. He highlights the influence of cultural customs, taboos, and laws that shape our sexual behaviors, contrasting them with the primal instincts observed in other species. By integrating Darwinian concepts of evolution with modern economic theory, Eldredge presents a nuanced understanding of how survival, sex, and procreation are intertwined in human society, offering a fresh perspective on our coital instincts.
