However, I could imagine a legitimate study of these connections between male biology and behavior, if one keeps in mind that humans (of both genders) have developed an existence in a complicated and structured society. This means that we are regularly called on and expected to resist and manage our biological urges as part of the social contract. We don't steal our neighbors food when we feel hungry, even if being fed at that moment would satiate that biological need.Chris S.noreply@blogger.com
