Features: It is often seen as a matter of course that humans are divided into males and females, but anthropologist Desmond Morris views it differently. Morris explores this complex issue from the perspective of natural differences in male and female attributes and the natural balance of social attributes, writing a book that delves into the intricacies of gender. The book is rich in content and insight: it examines the anatomical and physiological distinctions between males and females, how human civilization has both exacerbated and suppressed these differences, leading to the complex gender signals we see today. It also explores monogamy and polygamy, discusses the life journeys of different genders, with a particular focus on the modern plight of women—how to achieve success both in society and as mothers. As a renowned cultural anthropologist, Desmond Morris has written several books on similar themes. However, the topic of men and women is timeless, and the diversity on this subject is almost endless, with each good book holding its unique value. Moreover, this is a book that truly considers the reader, offering an enjoyable and rewarding reading experience. The illustrations and their captions are also captivating.
