More about the book

The book explores the complex relationship between cultural gender norms and genetic theories of sex, particularly through the lens of X and Y chromosomes. It traces the evolution of ideas about sex from the early 20th century to the postgenomic era, highlighting how gender influences research practices and scientific language. By examining historical theories and contemporary debates, the author argues for the necessity of critical dialogue regarding the impact of cultural gender concepts on genetic science, especially following the Human Genome Project.
