Consider Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Sex at Dawn reads as a spirited, argumentative synthesis of anthropology, history, and popular science that challenges the default narrative of innate sexual monogamy. Its useful contribution lies in assembling cross-cultural examples and provocative counterexamples that force readers to question assumptions about pair-bonding and sexual norms. Its chief limitation is a tendency toward selective evidence and rhetorical flourish; readers seeking a cautiously balanced, heavily sourced academic treatment will find the tone polemical and some claims overstated. Repetition and combative language sometimes wear thin.”
