There is a familiar, powerful myth which tells us that men and women have evolved fundamentally different natures. Male brains, so the story goes, are wired for risk-taking and competition, fueled by that almighty hormone, testosterone.

Psychologist Cordelia Fine dismantles this beast in her upbeat, timely and important contribution to the debate about sex and gender in society. Bringing together evolutionary science, psychology, neuroscience and social history, Fine moves beyond old 'nature versus nurture' debates and unmakes the tyrannical myth of Testosterone Rex.
