I think the real problem is that, after more
than fifteen years have past since the
publication of Jessell, D., & Moir A., (1989)
people are still asking - where di that come from?

Girls have superior verbal skills and boys
superior numerical and visuo-spacial skills.
Where di it come from; thusands of studies
that's where. One ref is Jessel D., and Moir A.,
(1989) *BrainSex* London. Michael Joseph. That's
where.
