The physical differences between men and women that underlie partner recognition and reproduction are obvious to all of us, and their developmental origins are well understood. In contrast, our understanding of behavioral differences between the sexes is primitive. In many cases, their very existence remains controversial, and the origins of those that have been clearly demonstrated remain unclear.
