Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion 'Outliers', anyone reading it??

Well Said, Lina (for a person of Any Age)

This isn't from Outliers, in fact I can't remember where it's from, but I read once that someone is forwarding the idea that males are better at Math than females because in pre-history Males were under genetic pressure to be smart enough to figure out which babies are their's and bring food to the right ones. Counting and keeping track of cycles and lengths of pregnancy were supposed to be a big help for the Males in passing on their genes and not so important for Females.

Well, it did make me giggle to think of it! Seems to me that the best way to be sure your offspring prospered under those conditions was to make sure that the whole small community prospered.

Someone invent a time machine quickly so I can satisfy my curiosity!

Thanks!
