This audiobook explores the origins of sexual beauty in the animal kingdom, drawing on neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and studies of frogs in Panama to shed light on why certain traits are perceived as beautiful. Focusing on the role of female brains as key drivers in the development of attractive features, the narrative offers insights into how and why sexual aesthetics evolve across species. It also considers the surprising similarities between human and animal perceptions of beauty.
