What stories can sex tell us about evolution? Darwin certainly had a lot to say about sex, and so if Darwin can talk about it, I can too!
This is an excerpt from a 20 minute talk called "Secrets of Sex" which I was invited to give at the Royal Institution's first Lates event, themed "Rules of Attraction".
This video is the second in a playlist of videos from the event. The whole playlist can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbM_MS-o7dCJtVjhT-fG58V6jAd1f4UQV
