In 'Sex at Dawn', Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá present a compelling argument that human beings evolved in egalitarian groups where food, child care, and sexual partners were shared. The authors use evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality to debunk the standard narrative of human sexual evolution. They contend that before the advent of agriculture, human societies were characterized by sexual freedom and promiscuity, which strengthened social bonds and ensured the well-being of the group. The book challenges modern concepts of monogamy and sexual exclusivity, offering a fresh perspective on human sexuality and its implications for modern relationships.

Key Points
1. Generosity without Expectation is Sexy
There is a lot of focus in the modern “pick up” and dating advice world on making sure that you are always giving less in your relationships than you are receiving.
While this advice may have some foundation if you are looking for nothing other than a one-night stand or a slew of unfulfilling sexual experiences, it holds no water if you are looking for fulfillment in relationships.
If you want to have the most fulfilling relationships possible, you need to give love without expectation.
That is the key.
Give and don’t expect anything in return. Give because you want to, not because you are expecting sex or love to be reciprocated.
2. Tell Your Truth No Matter What
If you are struggling in your relationships, odds are, you are withholding your truth from your woman.
You need to open up, tell her the truth, be honest with her without fear of outcome and without any neediness from her.
This is the only way that you can overcome issues together and break through jealousy.
3. You Need to be Aware of Women’s Sexuality
Odds are, if you are struggling with jealousy, at least a small part of the issue is that you are not celebrating women’s sexuality.
Like men, women enjoy sex. They find it exciting and (hopefully) satisfying. And this is a beautiful thing.
Instead of sitting around in your relationships getting caught up on the men who came before you, celebrate the fact that you are in a relationship with a beautiful sexual being, and learn to be ok with the fact that you probably weren’t her first and may not be her last.
4. Jealousy is About You, not Your Partner
Anyone who is struggling with jealousy on a large scale is almost definitely struggling with their own personal development.
Jealousy stems from your own limiting beliefs.
Your belief that you are not good enough, that you will never find a woman as good as your current girlfriend, or that other men will be able to care for her and satisfy her better than you will.
If you are struggling with these thoughts, then man up and take action.
Start taking care of yourself first. Master your own personal growth and become a man of high value who has options, and you will be able to sit back and enjoy as the
5. Maintain Your Life Outside of Relationships
The key to a healthy relationship is highly counter-intuitive.
Focus on your life outside of your relationship.
If you give up on your friends, quit pursuing your hobbies, and drop all of the things that made her fall in love with you in the first place, then your relationship is doomed.
You need to remember that you have a life outside of your woman. This will help keep you grounded whenever your relationship hits rocky ground (which is will).
