Summary

This final chapter echoes this sentiment. First, it discusses insights and considers some of the many unresolved questions arising from the preceding chapters. Then, there is a discussion of how broad-based, comparative studies of mammals can inform debates concerning post-copulatory sexual selection and the evolution of human reproduction. Finally, some thoughts are offered concerning the consequences of uncontrolled human population growth and the ongoing extinction of our fellow mammals.
