New Haven Event description:
Do the Peacock’s brilliant tail and the lovely song of the Wood Thrush encode information about mate quality? Or are these ornaments merely beautiful? In The Evolution of Beauty, Director of The Franke Program Richard Prum explores how sexual beauty evolves in the living world through mate choice, including insights into the evolution of human sexuality.
