Features: The course taught by the author is not a comprehensive discussion on science and sex education, but rather an introduction to basic knowledge of human sexuality, reproduction, and some health-related issues from the perspectives of biology and physiology. This course is also not a specialized one in sex science, but a general course for all students on campus. In 2003, the Curriculum Development Committee of Peking University approved this book as a project for undergraduate quality education elective course textbooks and provided publishing support. Based on years of teaching experience and reviewing relevant literature, the author has written this book for use by universities when offering courses in this field. The book only discusses some basic issues, and the main instructor can appropriately add more content of interest to students. The book is aimed at students with a high school level of cultural and scientific knowledge, making it readable for young people with high school education. It is hoped that it will be helpful to more young people. This book is a project-approved textbook of Peking University, serving as the textbook for the university-wide same-name public elective course, targeting a broad audience of young students. It introduces basic knowledge of human sexuality, development, and health-related topics from the perspectives of biology and physiology.
