There were many books that I could have included, such as Adaptation and Natural Selection by George Williams, Sociobiology by EO Wilson, and plenty more. I chose these because of their readability and scope. But please suggest more in your replies!

@byrne_a @TomasBogardus @Fausto_Sterling @sbkaufman @FondOfBeetles I've seen people bring up examples of birds, ants, mushrooms, etc., but all reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of what sexes are. If I had $1 million, I'd start a James Randi-like $1 million "show me a third sex" challenge. My money would be safe.

Finished reading Frank Dikotter's "The Tragedy of Liberation," the first of his 3 books on the Chinese Revolution. Recommended to me by @razibkhan. This line really stood out. https://t.co/B2Yu1CQhwn
