About this book

Fascinating discussion of diversity in gender and sexuality among fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals, including primates explaining how this diversity develops from the action of genes and hormones and how people come to differ from each other in all aspects of body and behaviour. Roughgarden reconstructs primary science in light of feminist, gay, and transgender criticism and redefines our understanding of sex, gender, and sexuality. She argues that principal elements of Darwinian sexual selection theory are false and suggests a new theory that emphasizes social inclusion and control of access to resources and mating opportunity.

New paperback edition with a new preface (2009).
