A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion by Randy Thornhill and Craig T. Palmer is a provocative exploration into the biological underpinnings of sexual coercion. Published by The MIT Press in 2000, this hardcover edition delves into the controversial intersection of evolutionary biology and human behavior. Thornhill and Palmer, both respected figures in their fields, argue for a biological perspective on rape, challenging social and cultural explanations. This edition, printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and London, England, is a significant contribution to discussions on human evolution and sociology. While the book is not a first edition, it remains a critical text for those studying the biological aspects of human behavior. The jacket shows minor wear, indicative of careful handling. This volume is an essential acquisition for scholars and libraries focusing on sociology, evolutionary biology, and the complex dynamics of human behavior.
