THE BETTER HALF - SHARON MOALEM KARTONIERT (TB)

An award-winning physician and scientist makes the game-changing case that genetic females are
stronger than males at every stage of life 'A powerful antidote to the myth of a weaker sex'
Gina Rippon  author of The Gendered Brain From birth  genetic females are better at fighting
viruses  infections and cancer. They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They live
longer  and even see the world in a wider variety of colours. These are the facts  they are
simply stronger than men at every stage of life. Why? And why are we taught the opposite?
Drawing on his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic  geneticist and
specialist in rare diseases  Dr Sharon Moalem reveals how the answer lies in our genetics: the
female's double XX chromosomes offer a powerful survival advantage. And he calls for a
long-overdue reconsideration of our one-size-fits-all view of the body and medicine - a view
that still frames women through the lens of men. Revolutionary  captivating and utterly
persuasive  The Better Half will make you see women  men and the survival of our species anew.
