Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Hello, everyone. Welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Linda Buffrey. She is professor of psychology at Durham University.

Her research focuses on evolutionary and cross-cultural understandings of interpersonal attraction and sexual selection. And today we're going to focus on topics like gender differences made preferences, how the media influence mate preferences and people's body images and uh topics like that so Dr. Buffright welcome to the show it's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you.

So let's start then with uh gender differences. I mean this is not a new topic on my channel but uh where do gender differences stem from? Are they the result of biological evolution? Are they cultural products?
