Abstract

Do the performing arts play a role in sexual selection? How does music influence mating practices in different cultures? an the performing arts create social settings where sexual relationships germinate and grow - even where sex is a disruptive force, an arena for competition and conflict? And if so, where does this power of the performing arts come from?
