Y: The Descent of Men - Jones, Steve

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight edge wear; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; This book is about science not society; about maleness not manhood. The condition is, in the end, a matter of biology, whatever limits that science may have in explaining the human condition. Today's advances in medicine and in genetics mean at last we understand why men exist and why they are so frequent. We understand from hormones to hydraulics how man's machinery works, why he dies so young and how his brain differs from that of the rest of mankind.
