In science you cite studies that support your points. This allows the reader to verify the points you are making and also examine the evidence.
As I reader I care whether your point is backed up by a study with 20 WEIRD people or whether the evidence for a point is more robust. Citing books doesn't really help. Especially pop-science books like Sperm Wars.
My other comments address this issue. Specially this.
