I think you were saying...

So our genes are really going to potentially do much better if we stay together.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

But we are liberated from that.

People get divorced and find other partners.

So it just inhibits aromatase.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

So it's a pretty elegant study, right?
