Recently published, The Intimate Animal: The Science of Love, Fidelity and Connection, explores monogamy, fidelity, and other relational modes of loving and fucking subjects via both biological determinist and social constructionist perspectives. The book’s author, Justin Garcia, is Executive Director and Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute. As an evolutionary biologist, Garcia considers evolution’s role in contemporary sex and love practices, such as social and sexual monogamy. This project follows up on Garcia’s 2010 research about some individuals being genetically predisposed (aka: “hardwired”) for infidelity.
