The Natural World of Animal Sexuality
Ratings4
Average rating3.9
A fun, unique read about the animal kingdom and the queer sex lives of the over 1,500 animal species that have been observed to have some kind of queer/same-sex sexual activity. The book was funny, lighthearted, and highlighted experts in different scientific fields. It explained a bit about human exceptionalism and the fact that many people believe we are different than animals due to our top spot of the pyramid due to God's will. This book shows that we are not that different and many animals in the animal kingdom love and have sex with those of the same sex.
Super accessible and funny book that analyses different forms of queerness in animals and includes mini interviews with queer biologists studying different parts of the animal kingdom.
‘With no value judgments or cultural prohibitions blocking nonhuman animals from pursuing it, bisexuality flourishes in the animal world.‘
whistles innocently What?
Fun and informative - like all non-fiction should be. (Coming from someone that reads like one non-fiction book every ten years.)
