The Biological Inadequacy of the Sex Binary | KPFA The right insists — and has tried to legislate — that male and female are hardwired opposites, with no overlap or variation. But as biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes illustrates, science tells...

Does One Size Fit All? | Los Angeles Review of Books In the 10th essay in the Legacies of Eugenics series, Jay S. Kaufman shows how the science of human body size is suffused with cultural assumptions.

YouTube video by World of Paleoanthropology Is sex strictly binary—or is the biology more interesting than the culture wars allow?

Oh no. Jane Goodall has passed. Jane changed so many lives across so many species. The best remembrance is to keep fighting for the rights of all species and to center care in all relations. Plus, do go and read her early work from Gombe, it's revolutionary.

Oy. Given the world at the moment, I am re-posting this...things are a mess, but we do actually know a lot and there are actionable things to do. Think, listen, reflect, share, and do what you can to make a difference. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJit...

Review of Sex Is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary by Agustín Fuentes – Grasshoppermouse Does Sex is a Spectrum offer a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex?

Review of my recent book from @edhagen.net ... I think it misses the point of the "limits of the binary" frame, and we disagree on how much detail should be in a pop-sci book, but we agree on other stuff- it's certainly worth a read! blog.edhagen.net/posts/2025-0...

Adidas and designer apologize to Mexican Indigenous community for ‘appropriated’ shoe | CNN The sportswear firm Adidas and Mexican-American designer Willy Chavarría have apologized after a Mexican state accused them of cultural appropriation over the design of a new shoe.

“Many times, large companies take products, ideas and designs from Indigenous communities in our country,” she said Friday, adding that her government would work on a new law that guarantees “the creativity of an Indigenous people is not usurped.” Damn straight. www.cnn.com/2025/08/11/a...

Heading to Leiden for the "Making Meaning In Biology: From the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis to Biosemiotics" 5-day workshop/symposium. A great topic and line-up of folks and a cool city to have it in (where the tulip was introduced to western Europe, plus a 435 year-old botanical garden).

Agustín Fuentes, bioanthropologist: ‘Saying that human beings are binary is a failure; it’s not biology, it’s philosophy’ The Princeton professor, author of ‘Sex is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary,’ reflects on human diversity and the ideological impositions that simplify the variety of genes, gonads and ...

Gender under attack The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health lucidly highlighted how attacks on the concept of gender, and on gender equality and women's rights more broadly, are not new. As Sarah Hawkes and her...

"Fuentes’ encomium to the diversity of sex in nature... easily explains why the gametic definition of sex is wholly insufficient to characterise sex-related biological diversity." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

ah X...Jerry Coyne and the usual crowd are complaining about the Lancet review of my book, making all sorts of claims about the book, and at the same time admitting they have not read it. Reading is not the worst thing. Unless you don't really want to have a conversation.
