She describes recent work that can be modelled in terms of biology being the source
of differences between sexes in average behavioural traits, and environment stabilising these differences.
FEW things are more likely to have us all frothing at the mouth than discussions
about differences between the sexes — a close companion to race, IQ and climate change in the too - hot - to - talk - about stakes.

According to Professor Huxley, «The
marked difference between the sexes for vascular - related disease is likely to have profound clinical implications for how women with type 1 diabetes are treated and managed throughout their lives.
[32][33] Despite a correlation between size dimorphism and the degree of polygyny, some evidence suggests that
size differences between the sexes originated due to ecological differences and prior to the development of polygyny.
While it did nothing to calm the maelstrom swirling around Summers, the new understanding of the chromosome revealed tantalizing clues to the role genes might play in shaping
cognitive differences between the sexes.
A first and still very common version of differentialism is the naturalist one:
innate differences between the sexes are supposed to explain different behaviours and social positions.
That column, which Franklin published in The American Weekly Mercury under the heading «The busy - body,» poked fun
at differences between the sexes, at businessmen and at community leaders.
Still, it may be worth pondering that in this brave new world, those who uphold the old and much derided «gender binary» — or, to speak more properly, the ancient understanding that there is a real and
normative difference between the sexes — will be the ones who can actually see some sort of meaning, however misguided, in things like same - sex desire and gender dysphoria.
This means that trying to identify natural
differences between the sexes by analysing hormones, brain structures and genes, as most scientists do, is largely meaningless.
As scientists continue to
explore differences between the sexes in both anatomy and behaviour, they are learning that hormones, enzymes and neurochemicals have quite different effects on organs that should be the same.
They also present evidence for
similar differences between the sexes in Australopithecines (early relatives of humans), suggesting that women long ago evolved such scaffolding to compensate for walking upright while supporting their swelling wombs.
The studies are beginning to
reveal differences between the sexes that may help explain the variability in their reactions and perhaps even provide much - needed insight into why stress - related
Their analyses show that, despite
many differences between the sexes prior to college — reflected in occupational preferences, math ability, cultural attitudes, and amount of AP coursework taken, for example — the playing field eventually levels for women who continue in these fields once they earn their PhD.
Studies have shown that men and women experience weight loss very differently, in part due to the
