The story of evolution as you’ve never heard it before. What’s the easiest way to tell species apart? Check their genitals. Researching private parts was long considered taboo, but scientists are now beginning to understand that the wild diversity of sex organs across species can tell us a lot about evolution. Menno Schilthuizen invites listeners to join him as he uncovers the ways the shapes and functions of genitalia have been molded by complex Darwinian struggles.

The author's use of humor made the subject matter, ahem, quite enjoyable to read/listen to. It was the perfect mix between scientific and silly. My only complaint is that Menasche oftentimes mispronounced or didn't say words altogether, which is an issue with a book as science-based as this one.
