This book follows the paleontological trail to the dawn of the deed, the evolutionary history of insemination. John Long tours readers through the sex lives of 375 million year old fish, introduces readers to the mating habits of arthropods, tortoises, agoutis, and to a 42 centimeter endowed Argentine Duck. The book uses copulation and the fossil record to trace the evolution of this life-sustaining behavior. In lifting the veil off of the earliest origins of sex, he puts a whole new biological spin on getting down and dirty."
