The article “Are men born with power?” by Helen Fisher examines the reasons for males’ historical dominance over women from the point of view of biology. According to Fisher the aggressive behavior depends on the presence of hormones like testosterone and serotonin. And high position in society is linked with the high level of male hormones in men and monkeys. For instance, male monkeys have higher levels of serotonin in their blood. Later Fisher points out that this also applies for human males. In the end of the article Helen Fisher claims that there is a direct correlation between the presence of testosterone and serotonin and rank.
