Looking back on our conversation with Carole Hooven from August 2021, I’m reminded of how crucial and timely that discussion was. Carole, a lecturer and co-director of undergraduate studies in Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard, brought her deep expertise to our conversation, helping us unpack the powerful role of testosterone in shaping human behavior.
At the heart of our discussion was her book, Testosterone, which explores the profound impact this hormone has on our bodies and minds. We grappled with a central, sometimes uncomfortable truth: if we want to build a better world, we must be willing to confront the realities of our biological nature—especially the evolutionary drives that shape human behavior.
Revisiting this episode today, Carole’s insights feel as relevant as ever. In a time when conversations about sex differences can be contentious, her commitment to scientific clarity and open dialogue remains invaluable.
