520 1 $a"The X in Sex traces the journey toward our current understanding of the nature of X. From its chance discovery in the nineteenth century to the promise and implications of ongoing research, David Bainbridge shows how the X evolved and where it and its counterpart Y are going, how it helps assign developing human babies their sex - and maybe even their sexuality - and how it affects our lives in infinitely complex and subtle ways.
520 8 $aX offers cures for disease, challenges our cultural, ethical, and scientific assumptions about maleness and femaleness, and has even reshaped our view of human evolution and human nature."--BOOK JACKET.
