SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR
Just as we need to eat to keep ourselves alive, working to obtain rewards such as food, so we need to have sex and reproduce in order to keep our genes alive. In this part of the chapter, we will look at the following two questions: How can a socio-biological approach (that is, an approach which seeks to reconcile our biological heritage as a species with our highly social organization) help us to understand the different mating and child-rearing practices of particular animal species? How does the human brain control sexual behaviour?
