For a Good Time, Well, Don't Call Dad By MARY DUENWALD, about men's two basic mating strategies, refers to

the fledgling field of Darwinian literary studies, in which scholars try to draw connections between literature and evolutionary science.

The literary professors are still desperate to establish their relevance, but as Dr. Marlene Zuk, a biology professor at the University of California at Riverside

questioned whether it was scientifically useful to identify the cad and dad types in literature.

"Looking at literature isn't going to let us advance evolutionary theory," Dr. Zuk said. "You're just describing what you're seeing. You're not testing a hypothesis."

Still, it's better than post-modernism.
