But your testosterone level doesn't actually predict your appetite for risk, sex drive, or athletic prowess. It isn't the biological essence of manliness—in fact, it isn't even a male sex hormone. So what is it, and how did we come to endow it with such superhuman powers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eT's story begins when scientists first went looking for the chemical essence of masculinity. Over time, it provided a handy rationale for countless behaviours—from the boorish to the enviable. From heated debates about whether high-testosterone athletes have a natural advantage to disagreements over what it means to be a man or woman, testosterone is always in the news. Arresting and deeply informed, \u003ci\u003eTestosterone\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on what T does in six domains: reproduction, aggression, risk-taking, power, sports, and parenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854892028140,"sku":"9780674271081","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674271081.jpg?v=1759258415"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/katrina-karkazis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
