Interview with Carole Hooven about her book T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us. Discusses her research with chimpanzees in Africa; the evolutionary origins of human behaviour; the role of testosterone in differentiating male development and masculinising behaviour; how prenatal testosterone differences in utero shape life trajectories; how it drives sex differences and how that affects relations between men and women and societal outcomes.
It’s worth reading Andrew Sullivan’s essay on testosterone, “The He Hormone”. From the *NY Times Magazine* in 2000; available at https://www.photius.com/feminocracy/testosterone.html .
