The Sexual Brain asserts that human sexual feelings and behavior can best be understood in terms of the development, structure, and function of the brain circuits that produce them. A new afterword to this paperback edition examines the work of Dean Hamer and his colleagues, who in 1993 produced evidence of a gene that influences sexual orientation in men.
