Sexual selection, Darwin’s other big idea, is the selection for particular traits and behaviours that results from (usually) female choice and male competition. It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock’s tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This book explores our understanding of how sexual selection works.
