Evolution can be shaped by mate choice, which can be as conscious as anything animals can do. I discuss this in Mating Mind.

that's a bit of an equivocation on the meaning of "conscious" though. nobody doubts that (some) animals make more or less conscious choices of mates.

Agreed. Do you wish we'd all be a little more conscious of what's rewarded in the mating market and why? Often it feels like we're the last to know why we reward what we reward.
