Sex - Basic Aspects of Human Sexuality
染色體的功能:初源女性與次生男性
沒有睾丸激素產生的話,胚胎會“自動”轉向發育成女性。換一句話說,雌性是基礎或初級的性。用進化生物學的觀點看,雌性也是較早進化出的性。雄性惟有“被加入某些東西”後才能夠出現,就是說,在受孕期,只有在確定的激素幫助下才能夠發育。用神話或詩歌來說:首先創造了夏娃,然後才用她的肋骨製造了亞當
The Role of Chromosomes:The primary female and the secondary male sex
Without the production of testsosterone, the embyonic development will "automatically" take a turn towards the female. In other words: The female sex is the basic or primary sex. From the standpoint of evolutionary biology, it is also the older sex. The male sex can develop only if "something is added", i.e. if certain hormones help it along during certain periods during pregnancy. In mythological or poetic language:
Eve was created first, and after her Adam was made from her rib.

The creation of Adam?
