Performance All the Way Down

Genes, Development, and Sexual Selection
Book • 2023
In *Performance All the Way Down*, Richard O. Prum integrates feminist thought with biology to challenge the binary concept of biological sex.

He argues that gene expression is a performative process, where individuals develop through a continuum of self-enactment, reflecting the agency of genes, molecules, cells, and tissues.

This approach bridges the divide between humanities and sciences, offering new insights into genetics and developmental biology.
