Anthropologist Helen Fisher traces the evolution of human sexuality, disentangling sexual differences that evolved millenia ago from gender differences that were socially constructed during our more recent adaptation to farm living. She then offers a provocative interpretation of current trends in gender roles and explores where men and women might go from here. Part of the conference set Who Do We Think We Are? The Mystery and Muddle of Gender, recorded October 18-21, 1993.
