Diamonds arenât forever, and neither is your love! This is the title of our Evolutionary Biology teacher, Rob Brooksâ fascinating new article in Quillette.
Why are humans so obsessed with big, shiny and expensive diamonds? It's not just because they're beautiful. It's also because they're scarce. In general, the more exclusive a resource is, the more expensive it becomes. Is it the same with sex?
This is a question Rob explores in his article. In a culture that's increasingly relaxed about sex norms, is this lowering the "price" of sex?
