Abstract Charles Darwin’s published and unpublished writings contain a plethora of references to sex variations, including intersexualities (‘hermaphroditism’), transformations of sex and non-heteronormative sexual behaviours. Marking the th anniversary of his major sexological work The descent of man, this historical review examines a range of strategies that Darwin deployed in. Through this successive action of female choice, females breed the males to have the desired traits. This is the mechanism, according to Darwin, for the production of these ornaments.
