Nature's Nether Regions: What the Sex Lives of Bugs, Birds, and Beasts Tell Us About Evolution, Biodivers ity, and Ourselves

A tour of evolutionâ€™s most inventiveâ€”and essentialâ€”creations: animal genitalia

Forget opposable thumbs and canine teeth: the largest anatomical differences between humans and chimps are found below the belt. In Natureâ€™s Nether Regions, ecologist and evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen invites readers to discover the wondrous diversity of animalian reproductive organs. Schilthuizen packs this delightful read with astonishing scientific insights while maintaining an absorbing narrative style reminiscent of Mary Roach and Jerry Coyne. With illustrations throughout and vivid field anecdotesâ€”among them laser surgery on a fruit flyâ€™s privates and a snail orgyâ€”Natureâ€™s Nether Regions is a celebration of life in all shapes and sizes.
