The Sexual Evolution

I enjoyed this chapter. It was fun to read of course. Say anything sexual and most every one's ears perk up. I think the point of this chapter though was that sometimes human nature outruns science. In this case, the Neandertals eventually became extinct because they weren't compatible with human nature. They mostly had sex for reproduction and couldn't relate to humans who had sex for pleasure.

When human nature outruns science, I think it shows the world is turning away from science. Science generally is created to benefit the world and humans, but when humans see something they way, they are going to get it. When a humans selfish nature comes in mind, science is out ruled. This can benefit us because I think it keeps the world fresh. It allows people to have their own wants and needs. It also makes the creations of science more of a benefit for other people because it is something that is done for good.
