Perfect Partners: Science of the Sexes

Proving that, at least from a reproductive standpoint, men and women are truly (and literally) made for each other, the two-part Perfect Partners: Science of the Sexes treats viewers to a fascinating journey through the hows, whys, and wherefores of male and female anatomy, exploring the necessity for two sexes (when many forms of life do just fine with one) in the first volume, "Different by Design," and demystifying the psychological and physiological differences between genders in the second, "Growing Up." Interviews with biologists and anthropologists examine the connection between our million-year-old ancestors and human behavior today, pointing out that the evolution of human-made society has resulted in some negative biological consequences, especially for men. Filled with interesting case studies, real life situations, experiments, and terrific photography, this excellent series from the Discovery Channel University collection offers thought-provoking insights into why we humans act the way we do. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
