The Science of Men

The video explores the evolution of the Y chromosome, focusing on a study that analyzed over 1200 DNA sequences from 26 populations to model male history. Researchers identified haplogroups and constructed an evolutionary tree, tracing the Y chromosome back to a common ancestor. The study also linked population explosions to migration and technology. Additionally, the video discusses sexual dimorphism in primates, particularly in voice pitch, and its relation to hormones like testosterone and cortisol, suggesting deeper voices may indicate better health and attractiveness.
