Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-22 00:00:00 Malcolm Haggerty The authors set out to prove that rape is not an effective evolutionary strategy and suggest a number of alternative reasons for the global and historic prevalence of sexual assault. They suggest that those who posit rape as a method for increasing viable offspring fail to understand the true nature of rape. However, the essays in Evolution, Gender, and Rape suffer from a similar weakness: In assuming that the only way for rape to be an effective evolutionary strategy is for the victim to birth and care for the perpetrator's offspring, the authors fail to grapple with the very explanation of rape that they themselves posit--that is, that rape is a way of asserting power and dominance. Some of the essays are insightful in their own way, but overall I found the book to be oversimplified, unevenly written, and ineffective. Disappointing.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-12 00:00:00 Dave Simms In Evolution, Gender, and Rape anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, philosophers, primatologists, psychologists, sociologists, and women’s studies scholars respond to Randy Thornhill and Craig Palmer’s book, A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion, published in 2000. এই বইটা ঐ বইয়েরই সমালোচনামূলক বই। সহজ কথায় ঐ বইয়ে ধর্ষণকে জাস্টিফাই করা হয়েছে, বিজ্ঞানের চেয়ে অপবিজ্ঞান বেশি আছে ওটায়। পড়ার তালিকায় ছিল, কিন্তু খুব শীঘ্রই পড়ার ইচ্ছে আর নেই।
