Description: Jim Holt reviews 'The First Sex: The Natural Talents of Women and How They Are Changing the World' by Helen Fisher.
Do the sexes owe their distinguishing traits to culture or biology? The Natural Talents of Women and How They Are Changing the World. volution may have given men and women different bodies, but has it given them different minds? We all know from everyday experience that the sexes do not think exactly alike and that they tend to be good at doing different things -- say, reading maps (men) versus reading faces (women). Some social scientists insist that such differences are entirely due to culture. But over the last couple of decades, proponents of evolutionary psychology have been piecing together a case that the mind is naturally sexed. Our male and female forebears faced different evolutionary pressures in their struggle to survive and reproduce on the Pleistocene grasslands, and as a result they have different mental aptitudes and even differently organized brains.
