To point out just one obvious convergence at the smaller end of the scale, females and males have the same 45 out of 46 chromosomes. And so on up the scale (brain structures, etc).Athena Andreadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650180659001228746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-47970095031847742592013-07-20T15:50:08.421-04:002013-07-20T15:50:08.421-04:00Thanks for the correction, Comradde!Thanks for the correction, Comradde!delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-8429482107680595532013-07-20T11:46:31.739-04:002013-07-20T11:46:31.739-04:00And what it says is what those of us who read in t...<i>And what it says is what those of us who read in this area, even as non-neuroscientists, more or less understand: male brains and female brains are not, in fact, innately different, despite what your high school biology teacher or your preacher or whoever might have told you is so.</i><br /><br />This is incorrect. Male brains and female brains absolutely have differences that are completely genetically and developmentally determined. The question is whether those differences have any relevance to cognition, with the best answer right now being probably not.Comradde PhysioProfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-74797802556195395012013-07-19T13:25:12.795-04:002013-07-19T13:25:12.795-04:00Awesome, thanks!Awesome, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
