From one of the world's leading authorities on animal behavior, the astonishing story of how the brain drives the evolution of beauty in animals and humans

In A Taste for the Beautiful, Michael Ryan, one of the world's leading authorities on animal behavior, tells the remarkable story of how he and other scientists have taken up where Darwin left off, transforming our understanding of sexual selection and shedding new light on animal and human behavior. Drawing on cutting-edge science, Ryan explores key questions: Why do animals perceive certain traits as beautiful and others not? Do animals have an inherent sexual aesthetic and, if so, where is it rooted? Ryan argues that the answers lie in the brain--particularly of females, who act as biological puppeteers, spurring the development of beautiful traits in males. Vividly written and filled with fascinating stories, A Taste for the Beautiful will change how you think about beauty and attraction in the animal world and beyond.

Ehh
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
Very thin, still comfy but very thin material. Super soft though. I've worn and washed and they have held up but I won't be repurchasing bc these are so thin

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly. The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

Flattering fit
Color: White, Size: Large
Flattering fit and comfortable. Material is a bit see through but that doesn't bother me. Great value for a nice looking shirt.

Super Soft and Comfortable, Just Not the Most Forgiving Fit
Color: Purple, Size: X-Large
This top is incredibly soft and comfortable, which was the first thing I noticed. It has a really nice, lightweight feel that is easy to wear and not too thick or heavy, making it great for everyday use. Fit is true to size, but I would not call it very forgiving through the midsection. It is not cropped, but it also does not have much added length, so it hits in a way that can highlight the stomach area more than expected. Just something to be aware of depending on how you like your tops to fit. I know the material blend can pricey but still not sure I would say it's value is worth it. I like it, but I odn't love it. The purple color is better in person than the picture though! Overall, it is a great basic if you are looking for something soft and comfortable, just know it leans a bit more fitted than flowy.
