'Sexual selection may be to macroevolution what genetic mutation is to microevolution: the prime source of potentially adaptive heritable variation, at both the individual and species levels' -- something I wrote back in 1995, re. this @BretWeinstein vs. @Evolutionistrue debatehttps://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1175539663747993602 …
Sexual selection gets very little attention in most science or media except as an explanation for sex differences. It's almost never taken seriously as an interesting & powerful evolutionary process in its own right that can do more than just make males differ from females.

That has always bewildered me.I am no biologist but the importance of sexual selection as a powerful evolutionary tool has always seemed apparent to me.
