About the Book

Have evolutionary biologists worked largely or strictly within a masculine paradigm, seeing males as evolving and females as merely reacting passively or carried along with the tide? Is there any such thing as a "feminist science" or "feminist methodology"? These are just two of the questions examined in this source, exploring the boundaries, intersections and frontiers between evolutionary biology and feminism, particularly as they relate to Darwinian process. Offering empirical and theoretical works of feminist evolutionary biologists, this volume examines provides a primer of ideas in the debates about genetic determinism and Darwinism. The material presented applies to modern studies of behavioural ecology in humans and non-human animals. In addition, the book contains descriptions of the potential influence of feminist thought on Darwinian science, first by drawing conclusions from Darwin's hypotheses on evolutionary biology and secondly, by providing evolutionary hypotheses formulated by feminist scientists.
