Adam's Curse: A Future Without Men Audiobook

" A study of the Y chromosome, it's controll over the population, and the driving force behind men's struggle for power, wealth and property. Very informative and thought provoking. Explores homosexuality and the eventual demise of the Y chromosome. I highly recommend this. "

" you don't really need a medical background to read this book, i find it highly informative and it explains why probably women are more capable of surviving(genetically) more than men "

" Most of the book is a very interesting discussion of genetic research focusing on the male Y chromosome. In the later part of the book the author explores his controversial thesis that males are ultimately doomed because of the inability of the Y chromosome to repair itself through recombination. This may or may not be correct, but one gets the distinct impression that the author is hoping that it is true and that the far future will be a women only utopia, with female babies produced through egg to egg ICSI genetic implantation. "

" I liked seven daughters of eve a whole lot better "

" Brilliant and especially suitable for Biology (or any other science) students. Shows other aspects of science itself and it opened my scientific horizons. "

" This is a difficult book to read but if you're into genetics or not it's still really fascinating. Who'd of thought that men could go extinct and leave all us ladies behind !!! "

" Great book on genetics and modern science research - written really well to keep you interested even if you aren't a science geek!!! "

" An interesting book. Sykes has an easy reading style that can make this subject interesting and understandable. "

" This book talks " The decay of the chromosome' plus the advantage of IVF and ICSI.. it was a very interesting learning and not all human being would ever have an interest to read about Y-chromosome and mdna. "

" Interesting information about Y-DNA, but he ties it to a rather lame thesis about Y-DNA being the source of humanity's problems and thus enthuses over the idea of a world without men. If you ignore the philosophizing, it is an interesting read. "

" An interesting idea, but Sykes spends far too much time bragging about his accomplishment. I love science, but I got bored reading this. "

" A good book looking at the Y-chromosome and the way it has shaped our world. Not as good as the Seven Daughters of Eve, but as thought provoking. "

" The author tends much more to hyperbole in this book than in his other two, and you have to take his conclusions with a large grain of salt, but it still has some interesting information. "

" Y chromosome is on the decline. Wow. "

" Science-y gobbledegook intertwined with intricate, emotional prose. It's the story of humans from a cytological perspective "

" Awesome book!!! Really helped me understand my Y-DNA "

" An interesting perspective on our possible genetic future, but hardly earth-shattering. "

" More reading on humans through their DNA, in this case, the Y chromosome. Very interesting. "

" A story of the constantly shortening, if not disappearing, Y chromosome and how the male sex may be on the cusp of extinction. Well related if perhaps rather implausible. "
