There are many other (besides testosterone) behaviour-eliciting hormones fundamental for humen well-being, including estrogen and progesterone in females.

Carl SaganWho are we, if not measured by our impact on others? Thatโs who we are! Weโre not who we say we are, weโre not who we want to be - we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others.
Carl SaganIf we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
