Testosterone Rex: Unmaking the Myths of Our Gendered Minds

Testosterone Rex squashes the gender based myth that men and women have evolved different natures. Fixed in ancestral paths that rewarded competitive men and caring women, these differences have supposedly been recreated in each generation. Testosterone is regarded as the essence of masculinity while biological sex is a fundamental force in our development… right? No, says psychologist Cordelia Fine, who argues that sex does not create male and female natures. Instead, sex, hormones, culture, and evolution bring together gender dynamics that are not a recipe, but a serving suggestion for the future. Testosterone Rex combines evolutionary science, psychology, neuroscience, and social history to move beyond the ‘nature vs nurture‘ debate, and to explain why it’s time to crush the tyrannical myth of Testosterone Rex and tell the truth about the genders.
