Many pages are filled with underlining and notes in pen.
Testosterone
has been the misunderstood human hormone since the early 1970s, blamed
for everything to rape to low intelligence to road rage. But the authors
argue that the picture is more testosterone is related to things as
diverse as criminal violence and the way people smile; it affects our
language ability and the way we navigate in the space around us; it
helps predict what occupation we will enter and whether or not we will
marry, have extra-marital affairs, and divorce. It affects both men and
women. Culled from over 20 years of research on the subject, this text
is the story of what we know and what we are learning about testosterone
- from its role in human evolution, to its links between animal and
human nature, to its connections with violence, attraction, and social
interaction.
