Vill man verkligen forsta grunderna till the game kan jag rekommendera boken The Mating Mind.

Den handlar om hur var enorma hjarna evolved. Nej, inte for att den hjalpte oss overleva. Hjarnan ar istallet ett sexuellt smycke och ett handikapp som kom till genom sexual selection.

“Sexual selection made our brains wasteful, if not wasted: it transformed a small, efficient ape-style brain into a huge, energy-hungry handicap spewing out luxury behaviours like conversation, music, and art.”

Boken tar aven upp topics som humor, och hur humor ar den absolut basta 'arenan' for att demonstrera varan kreativitet.

“Men write more books. Men give more lectures. Men ask more questions after lectures. Men post more e-mail to Internet discussion groups. To say this is due to patriarchy is to beg the question of the behavior's origin. If men control society, why don't they just shut up and enjoy their supposed prerogatives? The answer is obvious when you consider sexual competition: men can't be quiet because that would give other men a chance to show off verbally. Men often bully women into silence, but this is usually to make room for their own verbal display. If men were dominating public language just to maintain patriarchy, that would qualify as a puzzling example of evolutionary altruism--a costly, risky individual act that helps all of one's sexual competitors (other males) as much as oneself. The ocean of male language that confronts modern women in bookstores, television, newspapers, classrooms, parliaments, and businesses does not necessarily come from a male conspiracy to deny women their voice. It may come from an evolutionary history of sexual selection in which the male motivation to talk was vital to their reproduction.”
