From an award-winning medic and scientist, the game-changing case
that genetic females have greater resilience, immunity, endurance
and more, compared with males 'A powerful antidote to the myth of a
"weaker sex"' Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered Brain From birth,
genetic females are better at fighting viruses, infections and
cancer. They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They
live longer, and even see the world in a wider variety of colours.
These are the facts; they are simply stronger than men at every
stage of life. Why? And why are we taught the opposite? Drawing on
his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic,
geneticist and specialist in rare diseases, Dr Sharon Moalem set
out to understand why women are consistently more likely than men
to thrive. The answer, he reveals, lies in our genetics: the
female's double XX chromosomes offer a powerful survival advantage.
Moalem explains why genetic females outperform males when it comes
to immunity, resilience, stamina and much more. And he calls for a
long-overdue reconsideration of our male-centric, one-size-fits-all
view of the body and of how we prescribe medications - a view that
still frames women through the lens of men. Revolutionary,
captivating and utterly persuasive, The Better Half will make you
see women, men and the survival of our species anew.
