(http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/socsex.html)
"Humans, like many other terrestrial life forms, reproduce sexually. We, like all other sexual creatures, are subject to instinctive sexual desire triggered by appropriate criteria. However, humans are unique in two ways. ...the criteria for desire and selection are greatly complicated. People apply not only physical, but societal, cultural and economic criteria to desire and selection." | | | | Biological Basis of Sex Appeal
(http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/biosex2.html)
"Men are basically promiscuous; women are basically selective. Male criteria are physical; female criteria are physical and social. Men compete with each other for women's attention; women select those men who win competitions. There are, however, major modifying factors in human strategy that make humans unique among the animals. The first is the human mind, which I will discuss later. The second is the human anatomy, equally unique, which I will discuss now." | | | | A Brief History of the Human Genome Project
