【明 報專訊】從來沒做過推銷的人，但也深知一個道理﹕sex sells。所以英國自然歷史博物館（Natural History Museum）推出以性為主題的展覽Sexual Nature，注定暢銷。不過展覽不純粹是為了大賣而定下這題目﹕性不單是本能，更是物種存亡和進化的重要環節。展覽探討以下範圍﹕性是什麼？為什麼要分 兩性？在雌性生物卵子數目有限、因此有權揀擇的情况下，雄性要如何扭盡六壬獲得佳偶？雄性「得手」後，用什麼手段令其他雄性遠離自己的配偶，確保延續的是 自己的基因？人又如何把性，變成比傳宗接代更複雜的事情？你可以透過展覽，認識交配後獻上自己首級的雄性螳螂，看Isabella Rossellini拍攝有關深海琵琶魚（angler fish）奇特的交配習慣短片等，有噱頭之餘，也能讓人增進生物知識。
