Reinterpreting Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man through this biological lens, Cornish-Dale contends that the modern “Last Man” isn’t just a cultural archetype, but a physiological reality shaped by endocrine disruptors, processed food, and a political system hostile to masculine vitality.
Beyond diagnosis, The Last Men offers solutions, from lifestyle interventions to broader political Can masculinity survive under liberal democracy?

Good if you’re interested in chemistry and scientific studies, nutrition and the like. I don’t really care though

For those familiar with the writings of Cornish-Dale (Raw Egg Nationalist), this book will feel more like a consolidation of arguments rather than a new argument altogether. That said, it is enjoyable and easy to work through. Cornish-Dale describes the decline in testosterone in men today, considers the causes, examines the effects, and offers some remedies. He is very practical and clear in his approach, always meticulously backing up his more shocking claims and debunking some very popular myths about the crisis he describes.
Perhaps the only real objection one could make (not me, but maybe someone with different worldview) is that Cornish-Dale attempts to mix politics, social commentary, and health. Normally, these types of books are strictly one thing or the other, with interested readers either wanting a manual to boosting their health or a manifesto on how the West could reverse its decline. Some (again, not me) might take issue with the few jokes that Cornish-Dale will make that tends to clash with his normally formal and academic tone. I was fine on both counts, but this might be because I've followed Cornish-Dale's work for years.
Overall, this is a great book that gives a lot of food for thought and some constructive prescriptions for both men and women (but mostly men) to feel better and more confident in their daily lives.

makes sense
In a country that keeps trying to redefine and undermine manhood, this book draws on a substantial body of published research to argue that men are under attack politically, environmentally, socially, and domestically.
Some will dismiss it as propagandist drivel. But anyone who looks honestly at what has happened to traditional masculinity will see the evidence everywhere — in rising rates of transgender identification and body dysmorphia. The author captures the moment succinctly: the government knows men’s testosterone levels are falling, and it does nothing. Yet if something in the water were causing hypermasculinity, you can be sure it would act immediately.

Overall 75% good scientific points wrapped up in 25% culture warrior, right slanted opinion.
He makes some great points about the impact on male health by pollution and changes in American diet and exercise.
On down side he has a clearly right leaning political view:
* Praising Alex Jones
* Complaining about “Main Stream Media”
* Complaining about Democrats
* Praising RFK as supporting American's health
And an annoying tendency to repeatedly promote his previous book every 2 pages in the chapter about eating well.
If you can skim the culture wars rants the book makes some well supported points. I would have enjoyed it more without the obviously slanted editorializing.
