Angier challenges the common sexual misperceptions that scientists and psychologists think they know about the opposite sex in her essay‚ “Men‚ Women‚ Sex‚ and Darwin.” There are an infinite number of factors that play into the chemistry of a man and woman‚ which couldn’t possibly be recognized in scientific research.
