The primary female and the secondary male sex

Sex - Basic Aspects of Human Sexuality

染色体的功能:初源女性与次生男性

没有睾丸激素产生的话,胚胎会“自动”转向发育成女性。换一句话说,雌性是基础或初级的性。用进化生物学的观点看,雌性也是较早进化出的性。雄性惟有“被加入某些东西”后才能够出现,就是说,在受孕期,只有在确定的激素帮助下才能够发育。用神话或诗歌来说:首先创造了夏娃,然后才用她的肋骨制造了亚当

The Role of Chromosomes:The primary female and the secondary male sex

Without the production of testosterone, 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?
