News about Jerry Coyne

This week, Dr. Agustin Fuentes, a Princeton University anthropologist, wrote a tense piece for the Scientific American. Rather than a binary, he argued that sex falls on a spectrum rather than a binary. The anthropologist claims that because some other animals do not have such concrete roles for their sex as humans, that the concept is not based on a binary. His essay, according to experts, "distorts reality" and may give readers a misleading picture of how biology functions.
