One, in 1975, hinted at its contents: "a not very serious book that answers the questions of what I think about government, life, death, and God."

We inherit mechanisms for survival from our primeval past - none so obviously as those involved in reproduction. The hormone testosterone underlies the organization of activation of masculinity: It changes the body and brain to make a male.
