Two billion years, one very brisk read. The Shortest History of Sex by David Baker traces the evolution of sex from its earliest biological origins to the present — a wild, satisfying romp through the longest story in nature.

Part of the acclaimed Shortest History series, the book delivers millennia of context in a single, fast-paced read, moving from microbial reproduction to the cultural, social, and biological forces shaping intimacy today. Sweeping in scope, sharp in execution, and built for readers who want the full picture without the doorstop.

The whole story, brilliantly condensed.
