Abstract
According to Evolutionary Psychology, what are now almost universally regarded as attractive features of the face and body, and certain mate recruitment strategies, conferred strong survival benefits to humans in prehistoric times, and still play an important role in our sex lives today. While there are over a hundred books and over two thousand articles covering these subjects, the recommended readings that follow each section of this article may provide science librarians with a more manageable way to familiarize themselves with the principal findings in the field thus far. Selections were based on the featured works being favorably reviewed, heavily cited, or highly current, and may be useful for collection development.
