Darwin, unfortunately, was referring to unseen forces ~ then he came up with the idea of sexual selection and all Hell broke loose.

Mention people, monkeys and sex in the same book and people are going to get upset ~ either they want pictures, or they want it burned.

Ultimately, sexual selection can only work in a wealthy economy. You have to have surplus income to support fancy tail feathers.

"Natural" selection trumps the excesses of sexual selection.
