Abstract
Testosterone's connection to sex differences and key evolution ary pro cesses arouses controversy. Effects on humans and other species, thoug h, are not robotically deterministic but are parts of complex interact ions. We discuss the societal implications of these findings and consi der how the naturalistic fallacy and the person-situation dichotomy co ntribute to misunderstandings here.
