The Better Half: On the Genetic Superiority of Women
9.99 €
Women are the weaker sex, the fairer sex, the gentler sex... This is what we usually hear from those who like to philosophize about gender differences, what we see on greeting cards and in online posts. But if we look at women not from a social or physiological perspective, but trace their differences from men at the genetic level, a completely different picture emerges. Sharon Moalem, a Canadian-American geneticist, comes to the following discovery: thanks to the presence of two X chromosomes, women are superior to men at the genetic level. They are better able to cope with the threats and risks of the modern world, including disease. The author, using personal life experience as an example, explains how the idea for such a study was born and, in accessible language, explains the significance of her discoveries for the further development of medicine.
