They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They live longer, and even see the world in a wider variety of colours. These are the facts; they are simply stronger than men at every stage of life. Why? And why are we taught the opposite?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic, geneticist and specialist in rare diseases, \u003cb\u003eDr Sharon Moalem \u003c\/b\u003eset out to understand why women are consistently more likely than men to thrive.
