关于作者

Richard O. Prum is an influential figure in the field of evolutionary biology, particularly known for his work on sexual selection and the evolution of beauty in animals. His research challenges traditional views by emphasizing the importance of aesthetic preferences in mate selection, a concept that has often been overlooked in evolutionary theory. Prum's book, "The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World – and Us," articulates these ideas in a compelling way, shedding light on the complex interplay between beauty and evolution.
