<p>thing I have always wondering about.</p>

<p>The slow season is upon us and I was wandering Borders looking for a certain book on taxes (TaxGuy) which I didn't find. So I wandered to the magazine section. Glanced at the college stuff (nothing new), Spent some time in the airplane, military, hardware stuff, and finally got over to the real science zines but only after noticing how many mags cater to females and like. Such a waste of trees. </p>

<p>Very interesting article in Scientific American, January 2006.
<a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=1&articleID=00002FF7-2E2F-13A7-AE2F83414B7F0000%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=1&articleID=00002FF7-2E2F-13A7-AE2F83414B7F0000&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Explains a lot.
This thread should be good for at least a week.</p>

2. Mother rats with multiple pregnancies are smarter than few pregs.
3. Its a hormonal thing.</p>

<p>oooh, itstoomuch-
I could have a ball with that one.....</p>

<p>someone needs to change the name of this thread. It's too likely to be overlooked, and its full of such vitally important infomation on sex differences....</p>

<p>“Perhaps monogamy is more neurologically demanding.”</p>

<p>Having been married 29 years ... sounds reasonable to me.</p>

in species with promiscuous females, males would require bigger brains in order avoid being cuckolded.
