Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It

Social anthropologists would refute this whole book entirely. How can they know that if left alone on a desert island, boys and girls would different? It has never happened. In other cultures women are not the way that this book characterize them and the same for men. It is true in "western" culture only and "western" culture has permeated the globe, helped especially by Christianity. Cross-culturally it doesn't hold water. Socio-biology is extremely questionable and not for the reasons that they state. Of course there are individual examples, but there are whole groups of people that refute this type of biological determinism. Additionally, they should review their history of humankind: it is being proven that men have not been the "hunters" for as long as was originally thought. They were more likely the scavengers. To support this theory you would have to prove that people with these biological characteristics had more babies (which is how evolution works) and it is simply not supported and, I believe, not possible to support. My experience: I am an anthropologist.

Highly recommended... I never have read a book that says it all about the differences between men and women from the very beginning as on from caveman era going to the future. The details are accurate enough that it made me laugh and think... Entertaining to read

Its actually funny. It all goes back to the cave man days. Makes sense.
