2020ill., br. Secondo la visione comunemente accettata della selezione naturale, perché un carattere si evolva è necessario che sia adattativo, che aumenti cioè la probabilità di sopravvivenza dell'individuo. Con uno scarto audace rispetto all'ortodossia dominante, Richard Prum ipotizza invece in questo libro che alcuni tratti, soprattutto quelli coinvolti nel corteggiamento, siano frutto di scelte arbitrarie: una specie manifesterebbe una preferenza per un certo carattere giudicato bello, e in base a quella preferenza uno dei due sessi (in genere quello femminile) effettuerebbe la scelta del partner. La prole della coppia erediterebbe così non solo il carattere ritenuto attraente, ma anche la preferenza. In effetti nell'Origine dell'uomo Darwin aveva delineato una visione puramente estetica della selezione sessuale: ma i tempi non erano maturi, e per i suoi colleghi dell'epoca vittoriana l'idea che le preferenze femminili - l'«immorale capriccio femminile», come veniva allora chiamato - potessero rappresentare una pressione selettiva determinante era inconcepibile. Centocinquanta anni dopo, con indiscutibile autorevolezza, Prum conferisce nuova vita alla teoria rivoluzionaria di Darwin, ma si spinge oltre: spaziando tra biologia evolutiva, filosofia e sociologia, riscrive la teoria dell'evoluzione (che si tratti dell'evoluzione delle penne del pavone o di quella dell'orgasmo femminile), riscatta il ruolo della bellezza e del desiderio, e ci offre una nuova, affascinante storia naturale incentrata sull'arbitrio femminile e il senso del bello contrapposti alla legge della lotta e al dominio del più forte.
