Ep. 21 Human Sex and Evo Psych

Hey everyone, this week is part 2 of our episodes on sex, this time focusing on sex determination in humans and Sean's rocky relationship with the field of evolutionary psychology! Nathan and Sean discuss the XY chromosome system, the SRY gene, all sorts of things that can make people fall outside of the XX-XY female-male dichotomy, and more!

This episode our very real promo is for a non-fiction horror podcast Pomegranates and Pitchforks! They cover true crime, mythology -- anything that has to do with horror -- check them out! https://pompitchpod.podbean.com/
