Why do all human societies have gender norms, and why do they vary so widely across cultures and history? In Gendered Species: A Natural History of Patriarchy, Dr. Tamás Dávid-Barrett, an evolutionary behavioural scientist at the University of Oxford, takes us on a captivating journey to uncover the scientific logic behind one of humanity's most enduring and contentious questions. With an interdisciplinary lens spanning anthropology, biology, sociology, economics, and psychology, this groundbreaking book draws on research conducted across forty countries and five continents. Gendered Species offers a calm, evidence-based exploration into how and why gender rules emerge, change, and endure-free from political bias and rich in scientific insights. Through its thought-provoking narrative, Gendered Species challenges preconceptions, offering fresh perspectives on how humanity organizes itself and how these structures might evolve in the future. Whether you're a scientist, a curious thinker, or simply looking to understand the cultural forces shaping our world, this audiobook promises to transform the way you see gender, society, and humanity itself
