Description
"Fearless, fascinating, and fair-minded... I can't think of a better book on the science of sex differences."--Professor Paul Bloom "A terrific book - scholarly and anchored in the most current science, yet also highly engaging and readable for any audience. It's sure to become a classic on the fascinating science of sex differences." --Professor David Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire "I thought I'd get bored after half a billion years of sex differences, but this engaging, well-written, and funny book kept me hooked to the end." --Jimmy Carr, comedian "In this fluent and fascinating book, Stewart-Williams explains whether, how, and above all, why men and women, like most mammals, have somewhat different brains as well as different bodies." --Matt Ridley, author of The Red Queen "One of my favorite topics from one of the best psychology writers alive. Spectacular." --Chris Williamson, host of Modern Wisdom "Stewart-Williams explains, with authority and wit, how our evolved differences play out in dating, mating and parenting, and why facing these facts is essential for a fairer, more compassionate society. If anyone doubts the relevance of evolution to human behavior, hand them this book." --Carole Hooven, author of T: The Story of Testosterone "Unvarnished and always fascinating truth from one of the world's leading authorities and most entertaining writers on sex differences." --Will Storr, author of The Status Game
