About this title: Steve Jones, a geneticist and the author of DARWIN'S GHOST, assesses the state of maleness at the beginning of the 21st century. Focusing on the biological aspects of the topic, he discusses hormones, hair loss, and the male anatomy, often comparing humans with animals like the gorilla. Jones ultimately makes the case that manhood itself is in a slow decline and that, perhaps, it is not women who are the "weaker sex."
