On an evolutionary model of sex differences in mathematics: Do the data support the theory?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
The target article draws on evolutionary theory to formulate a biosocial model of sex differences in quantitative abilities. Unfortunately, the data do not support some of the crucial hypotheses. The male advantage in geometry is not appreciably greater than the male advantagi in algebra, and the greater male variability in mathematics cited by Gear is not cross-culturally invariant.
