Males, Females, and Behavior: Toward Biological Understanding - Hardcover

by Lee Ellis (Editor), Linda Ebertz (Editor), Milton Diamond (Foreword by)

In nine chapters, contributors explore how genetic, hormonal, and neurological factors affect the behavior of males and females within complex environmental settings. Based on the latest research, the essays theorize about the causes of variation in sex differences in behavior and related phenomena. Sex differences in behavior are examined as a cross-species phenomenon and as having numerous biological as well as environmental determinants.
