Sex is a spectrum : the biological limits of the binary

by Agustín Fuentes

This study examines the biological complexity of sex, challenging binary classifications through evidence from evolutionary biology and anthropology. It explores how human variation and biocultural factors shape identities beyond simple male and female categories.

Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed-and why having XX or XY chromosomes isn't as conclusive as some would have us believe. -- publisher
