The Red Queen by Matt Ridley Summary
Overview of The Red Queen
Why do we have sex? Ridley's evolutionary masterpiece reveals how sexual selection drives human behavior, from mating strategies to gender differences. Endorsed by Dawkins and referenced in "The Game," this provocative theory explains why beauty matters and how our genes wage constant evolutionary warfare.

Why Everything Runs Just to Stay in Place
A peacock drags around a tail so absurdly large it can barely fly. Your immune system wages war against invisible enemies that evolve faster than you can blink. And somewhere in your genes, ancient conflicts play out between DNA inherited from your mother and father. What connects these seemingly random facts? Sex. Not the act itself, but the evolutionary engine it powers-a relentless biological arms race where standing still means extinction. This is the Red Queen hypothesis: like the character in Lewis Carroll's tale who must run constantly just to remain in the same spot, every living thing races against parasites, competitors, and time itself. The question isn't why we run-it's why we chose such an inefficient way to do it.
