A Billion Years of Sex Differences
Book •
A Billion Years of Sex Differences surveys the evolutionary origins and manifestations of sex differences in behaviour, cognition, and physiology.
Stephen Stewart-Williams evaluates evidence across species and human cultures to assess which differences are likely rooted in evolutionary pressures.
The book addresses common misconceptions, methodological issues, and the interplay of biology and environment in shaping sex-specific traits.
Stewart-Williams uses clear explanations and empirical examples to navigate contentious debates in the field.
The result is a scholarly yet accessible account of how evolutionary theory can illuminate sex differences while acknowledging complexity and nuance.
