Description
In nine chapters, contributors explore how genetic, hormonal and neurological factors affect the behavior of males and female within complex environmental settings. Based on the latest research, the essays theorize about the causes of variation in sex differences in behavior and related phenomena. Sex differences in behavior are examined as a cross-species phenomenon and as having numerous biological as well as environmental determinants.
Reviews
Overall this book should convince the most sceptical sociologist of the important, if complex, role player by biological factors in sexual and social behaviour.-Personality and Individual Differences
