从性选择和性冲突的进化论观点可以有力地洞察看似自相矛盾的特征存在的根本原因，如夸大性特征和性剥削。然而，我们对这些特征的生物学和心理学理解经常受到缺乏跨不同分类单元重点研究领域的整合的阻碍，以及将人类文化整合到标准进化范式中的公认困难。我们的目的是解决这些局限性，并通过在进化生物学和进化心理学的界面上讨论性选择和性冲突来确定紧急的、普遍的主题。我们主要关注性别冲突这一主题，当男性和女性以不同的方式最大化他们的进化适应性时，性别冲突就会发生。我们首先回顾来自不同物种的核心概念和关键例子。然后，我们探索这些想法是否可以有效地应用于人类生殖相互作用的研究。这项实验表明，即使是从动物生物学研究中得出的理论，也具有令人惊讶的能力，可以解释人类交配行为的不同方面。动物生物学研究只关注性行为的进化后果。
Evolutionary perspectives from sexual selection and sexual conflict can give powerful insight into the ultimate reasons for the existence of seemingly paradoxical traits such as exaggerated sexual characteristics and sexual exploitation. However, our biological and psychological understanding of such traits is often hampered by a lack of integration across different taxon-focused research fields, as well as by perceived difficulties of integrating human culture into standard evolutionary paradigms. Our aim is address these limitations and to identify emergent, general themes by discussing sexual selection and sexual conflict at the interface of evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology. We focus mainly on the theme of sexual conflict, which occurs when males and females maximize their evolutionary fitness in different ways. We begin by reviewing core concepts and key examples from diverse species. We then explore whether these ideas can usefully be applied to the study of reproductive interactions in humans. This exercise shows that even theory drawn from the study of animal biology, which focuses only on the evolutionary consequences of sexual interactions, has surprising power to explain diverse facets of human mating behavior.
