Why are there two sexes? How different are they and why? Why can't a
woman be more like a man? Or should the question be: why can't a man
be more like a woman?
Controversy rages around sex and gender, but just what are the
differences and how are they determined? Lewis Wolpert, distinguished
scientist, broadcaster and author, has tackled depression, religion
and old age from a developmental biologist's perspective. Now he
enters the gender debate, starting with his argument that men are
fundamentally modified females - if the genes present at fertilisation
did not do their job properly, we would all be women - and journeying
through MRI techniques, the nature of sexual attraction, 'neurosexism'
and whether men are really better at maths.
With fresh and persuasive research and with his customary intelligence
and curiosity, Lewis Wolpert sets out to make his mark on this
controversial topic - and makes some surprising discoveries along the
way.
