In terms of biology and design, the architecture of a man and woman begins with indifference; men and women start out exactly the same. Though sex has been identified and codified genetically, a six-week-old embryo is physiologically indistinguishable as either male or female.
Follow a set of fraternal twins in utero (as their sexual characteristics begin to emerge and diverge) as revolutionary imaging techniques reveal these transformations for the first time. Watch as men and women mature and push their bodies to athletic extremes to demonstrate how biological differences impact physical performance and even mental agility. However, our differences have evolved not to answer challenges in athletic contests, but to provide advantage in the game of life. Men have denser bones and greater muscle mass than women. Women can endure more pain and live longer than men. Is one sex 'designed' to be superior to the other? For the answer, one needs only to examine the architecture of the sexes.
Presented in 16:9 widescreen format.
