The Evolution of Maleness: Helping Boys & Men Reconnect to Our Billion-Year-Old Heritage

From Dr. Diamond: “As a father of six grown children, seventeen grandchildren, and four great grandchildren, my interest in boys runs deep. Just as males need to understand and feel the connection with our fathers, it is important that we understand our evolutionary legacy as males.

“As I was doing research for my book, 12 Rules for Good Men, I wondered when did maleness begin? In his book, The Hidden Spirituality of Men, Matthew Fox says, “The universe invented sex and sexuality about one billion years ago.” Our male lineage is ancient.

“As a father and evolutionary-trained clinician, I will help us understand the biological basis of being male and importance of our male lineage in helping boys grow up to become healthy, caring, and mature men.”
