T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us - Carole Hooven

Since antiquity―from the eunuchs in the royal courts of ancient China to the booming market for “elixirs of youth” in nineteenth-century Europe―humans have understood that typically masculine behavior depends on testicles, the main source of testosterone in males. Which sex has the highest rates of physical violence, hunger for status, and desire for a high number of sex partners? Just follow the testosterone.
Although we humans can study and reflect on our own behavior, we are also animals, the products of millions of years of evolution. Fascinating research on creatures from chimpanzees to spiny lizards shows how high testosterone helps males out-reproduce their competitors. And men are no exception.
While most people agree that sex differences in human behavior exist, they disagree about the reasons. But the science is clear: testosterone is a potent force in human society, driving the bodies and behavior of the sexes apart. But, as Hooven shows in T, it does so in concert with genes and culture to produce a vast variety of male and female behavior. And, crucially, the fact that many sex differences are grounded in biology provides no support for restrictive gender norms or patriarchal values. In understanding testosterone, we better understand ourselves and one another―and how we might build a fairer, safer society.

Wow, if you try to blame problems on anything other than socio-economic inequities you are the problem.
I hope the author can set aside her racist faux-eugenic hate and get on the right side of history.

@jonwb not sure which audiobook you’re listening to, but it isn’t this one mate.

Great science by a Harvard researcher. Many thanks!

They can if they like. This is the sort of book that highlights their multiple failures. They wish they could be accepted by actual nazis, the big boys, but they just get sand kicked in their face. So they spend all their days posting hate on a website for free audiobooks.
It’s a laughable life, but I guess it works for them.

@tenbenson “these people i don’t like spend their days trolling audiobook comment sections its sad really…”
You realize you’re describing yourself right? You are all over the comment section spewing your opinions on everything excluding the uploads.

Thank you very much! Much rather listen to a good science audiobook than to read any kind of anti-science rant….
