Genome : the autobiography of a species in 23 chapters par Matt Ridley

enjoyed it- sometimes felt the author was injecting personal opinions-but it is a popular science book so I guess that is to be expected. Great springboard to lead to further reading

The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature par Matt Ridley

An evolutionary perspective on sex, mating, beauty and other pieces of human nature. Inspires to think about the deep reasons for our desires and behavior. Also the idea of the red queen (constant conflict which spurs evolution but doesn't give any side a hude advantage) can be imaginativly applied to other systems. I'm happy i was introduced to this perspective and i think i need to strengthen my understanding of it with other books. Someone recommended me to read Steve Pinker.
