Description
The Better Half: Why Genetic Females Triumph Over Males Dr. Sharon Moalem's groundbreaking research reveals that women have a survival advantage over men at every stage of life, from infancy to old age. This is not just a matter of statistics, but a fundamental difference in biology that has been overlooked by the medical establishment for too long. Through compelling case studies and diverse examples, including the behaviour of honeybees and historical events like the Donner party, Moalem explains how two X chromosomes offer a significant survival advantage to females. This book calls for a reconsideration of our male-centric approach to medicine and challenges the way we prescribe medications, offering a fresh perspective on the human experience. With clear and captivating prose, The Better Half is a revolutionary and convincing exploration of the biology that underlies our species' survival.
