Lecture

A lecture by Christian Blenn (Zurich) with interesting examples about non-conforming gender models in animals. He will point to differences between biological gender (yes, gender!), phenotypical gender and social gender. His focus lies on how humans have influenced sex relations of “wild” animals for decades, even before genetic engineering was a possiblity.
