摘要: Webster’s defines gender as the classification of animate beings and inanimate things masculine, feminine, or neuter. When used a concept that guides how we perceive study sexuality, becomes nebulous: To some, is defined in terms behavior, whereas others regard indicative chromosome constitution. However, an anthropocentric psychological construct has little meaning when dealing with nonhuman organisms. In such investigations clarity precision definitions sexuality are paramount. This essay demonstrates not unitary phenomenon, but rather multifaceted composite different sexes may be concordant. The further suggests components considered complementary mechanisms outcomes.
