"Eminent scientists Malcolm Potts and Roger Short view the broad panorama of human sexual and reproductive behaviour to reveal an inextricable mixture of nature and nurture - a combination of innate actions that have evolved over the millennia to adapt us to a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle, overlain by more recent cultural constraints imposed by civilization. For each of life's milestones - love, marriage, sexual intercourse, pregnancy, birth, puberty, parenting, menopause and death - they describe the biology behind our actions and consider how pressures imposed by various historical and contemporary cultures have further influenced our behaviour. By looking back at the past they attempt to make sense of the present, to see how and why these cultural modifications arose, how they have contributed to the richness of human sexual behaviour, and how our biological and cultural inheritance can help us to develop a more rational approach to the problems that now beset us - declining reproductive health and excessive population growth."--BOOK JACKET.

"From the frontlines as a firsthand witness to war-torn countries around the world, Potts has worked with ministries and governments and in the trenches with women who have been raped and brutalized as an instrument of war. Combining his personal experience with the latest scientific findings, Potts explains that men have evolved under conditions that favored gang behavior, violence and team aggression, and observations of chimpanzee behavior confirm that these actions have been fundamental for millions of years." "In a world that spends $950 billion, there is hope. Females do not show the same inherent tendency toward violence and, instead, have evolved to favor negotiation and interpersonal bonds. Integrating women as full members of society is our best chance of shaping a more peaceful and stable world as we move further into the 21st century." "Sex and War combines startling scientific findings in primate behavior, anthropology, genetics and human evolution with fascinating personal stories and historical anecdotes. For anyone interested in the cycle of violence we are living in, or interested in the nature of mankind, Sex and War will be an illuminating work that will change how they see the world."--Jacket.

The Population and Reproductive Health Oral History Project, funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, includes accounts of individuals throughout the world who have made important contributions to the field. Reflecting the voices and perspectives of advocates, communication specialists, lawyers, managers, physicians, researchers, social workers and others, the series addresses the historical period 1965-2005. There are thirty-eight audio recorded interviews with complete transcripts for each. Project records include correspondence and emails between project staff and narrators; and biographical materials, some of which include writings. Jack Smith's professional files include memoranda, emails, correspondence, newsletters, reports, database searches, and project proposals pertaining to the planning and execution of the History Project. They also document some of the important events in the history of the reproductive rights movement since 1965. Also included are writings by Deborah McFarlane.
