What is the author's style in The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature by Matt Ridley?

The perspective of The Red Queen is akin to an interested and intelligent layman who wants to understand and explain how important developments in evolutionary theory relate to common human practices. The author advocates a thesis called the Red Queen thesis in sexual selection as a method for understanding human nature. He presents opposing viewpoints but it is clear that the author is a partisan of the Red Queen. The author also clearly favors using the evolutionary method broadly in the social sciences.
