Description

Sex Differences in Intelligence presents a provocative argument about the nature of intelligence and its relationship to sex. According to Dr Richard Lynn, the average intelligence of young girls is higher than that of young boys, with this gap narrowing as they enter school age.

The book explores the reasons behind these differences, including the role of brain size and evolutionary pressures such as sexual selection. Lynn examines over a hundred studies to support his Developmental Theory, which suggests that men have evolved higher average intelligence than women in order to compete for territory and status.
