Hormones and History?

So I’m currently reading this book on testosterone, written by I believe two female professors, and for the most part, I find the book insanely boring.

First, it does seem that the science behind testosterone is much more complex and we thought it was. I also suppose I made the mistake for a long time:

More testosterone does not mean more manly.

I suppose what the authors uncovered was testosterone isn’t necessarily the “masculine” hormone.

I suppose the reason why I find this really fascinating is this:

Perhaps the best instructors aren’t science, but history.

For example, better to study analyze and consider the courage of an Achilles or a Hector, instead of concerning ourselves too much about the science behind testosterone and hormones etc.

Everything modern is bad?
