Description
Y: The Descent of Men by renowned geneticist Steve Jones is a witty, insightful exploration of masculinity through the lens of biology. From the origins of the Y chromosome to the role of male hormones, hair loss, and even the mechanics of reproduction, Jones unpacks the science of what it means to be male.
Drawing on cutting-edge biological research, he argues—often with humour—that men may in fact be the “second sex.” With sharp commentary and surprising discoveries, Jones sheds new light on evolution, genetics, and the future of maleness itself. This landmark work is both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the battle of the sexes.
