A man is an adult human male, typically characterized by physical, biological, and behavioral traits distinct from women. Biologically, men usually have XY chromosomes, and they tend to have broader shoulders, more muscle mass, and facial hair, especially after puberty. Socially and culturally, men have often been expected to take on roles such as providers, protectors, or leaders, though these roles vary widely across cultures and have evolved over time. In terms of reproduction, men produce sperm, which is essential for fertilization. Men also face specific health concerns, such as prostate cancer and heart disease, and their life expectancy is often shorter than women's in many parts of the world. However, men, like women, are diverse in their personalities, interests, and expressions of identity, and these aspects continue to evolve as societal expectations of masculinity change.
