new research from the field of genetics shows that testosterone alters the programming of neural stem cells, leading to sex differences in the brain even before it’s finished developing in utero.

Also on collective male & female intelligence:

In two studies with 699 people, working in groups of two to five, we find converging evidence of a general collective intelligence factor that explains a group’s performance on a wide variety of tasks. This “c factor” is not strongly correlated with the average or maximum individual intelligence of group members but is correlated with the average social sensitivity of group members, the equality in distribution of conversational turn-taking, and the proportion of females in the group.

Рассуждения, которые от "если подействовать гормоном на neural stem cells мышиных эмбрионов, культуры с хромосомами XX и XY отреагируют по-разному" стремительно переходят к "вот видите, все знакомые нам гендерные стереотипы верны", напоминают комикс про "ученый изнасиловал журналиста".
