Description
This week The Sexually Selected Boys of Comedy™ get into some of the basics of the evolution of mating. Charles Darwin’s birthday is just before Valentine’s Day on Feb 12.  We thought it would be fitting to spend the next two weeks talking about how change over time has shaped the tantalizing act of spreading genes. 'On The Origin of Species' put Darwin on the map and introduced the world to evolution.
